THE SEVENTH ANGEL SOUNDED

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven saying The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever." Revelation 11:15

"The seventh angel is a man qualified with heavenly attributes, who will arise with heavenly qualities and character. Voices will be raised, so that the appearance of the Divine Manifestationwill be proclaimed and diffused. In the day of the manifestation of the Lord of Hosts, and at the epoch of the divine cycle of the Omnipotent which is promised and mentioned in all the books and writings of the Prophets--in that day of God, the Spiritual and Divine Kingdom will be established, and the world will be renewed; a new spirit will be breathed into the body of creation, the season of the divine spring will come, the clouds of mercy will rain, the sun of reality will shine, the life-giving breeze will blow, the world of humanity will wear a new garment, the surface of the earth will be a sublime paradise; and malignity will disappear, and truthfulness, righteousness, honesty, and the worship of God will appear; union, love, and brotherhood will surround the world, and God will rule for evermore: meaning that the Spiritual and Everlasting Kingdom will be established...." 'Abdu'l-Baha--Some Answered Questions (SAQ) pp 66,67.

Here 'Abdu'l-Baha is interpreting the prophecy of the advent of the seventh angel that is to establish the Kingdom of God. He tells us that this seventh angel is a man with spiritual qualities who will come and will convert the kingdoms of this world into Baha'i nations; the Everlasting Kingdom. Certainly neither 'Abdu'l-Baha or Shoghi Effendi qualified to be this seventh angel as these nations have not been converted to the Baha'i faith.

In the Coming of the Kingdom of God in Baha'u'llah and the New Era pp 248-250 of the 1970 Edition tells us that"Blessed is he..." will come in 1963 and he will establish the Kingdom. This date was given by Daniel for the return of Jesus the high priest after the order of Melchizedek. Daniel gave four dates for the coming of Jesus. The first was for the coming of Jesus, the Christ, on September 22, 30 A.D., when he was about 30 years of age, and crucified on 34 A.D. when he was 33 years of age. The apostles asked Jesus when he would

return and he told them to turn to the book of Daniel for the dates. Daniel gave three dates for the return of Jesus. First: was 2300 days/years from 457 B.C., which is 1844 A.D. for the return of Jesus as the Bab (John 10:9). Second: was for the return of Jesus as the Christ (a sperm descendant of King David), Baha'u'llah, was 1290 years from the proclamation of Muhammad to the Proclamation of Baha'u'llah on April 21, 1863 (for explanations of the above dates see chapter 10 of SAQ). The third: was for 1335 days/years from the victory of Muhammad in 628 A.D. to April 21, 1963 A.D., or 100 years from the Proclamation of Baha'u'llah to when Jesus the High Priest began his ministry by being opposed by Satan on April 21, 1963 A.D. As both the seventh angel and Blessed is heaccomplish the same mission they are fulfilled in the same person.

In the last two verses of the Book of Daniel occur the cryptic words--"Blessed is he [a man] that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [1335 days]. But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in the lot at the end of the days."

Many have been the attempts of learned students to solve the problem of the significance of these words. In a table talk at which the writer was present, 'Abdu'l-Baha reckoned the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy from the date of the beginning of the Muhammadan era [the victory of Muhammad in 628 A.D. 628 + 1335 = 1963].

'Abdu'l-Baha's Tablets make it clear that this prophecy refers to the one hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad, or the year 1963-

"Now concerning the verse in Daniel, the interpretation where of thou didst ask, namely'Blessed is he who cometh unto the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days' These days must be reckoned as solar and not lunar years. For according to this calculation a century will have elapsed from the dawn of the Son of Truth [by "Blessed is he"], then will the teachings of God be firmly established upon the earth, and the Divine Light shall flood the world from East to West. Then on this day, will the faithful [to the provisions of the Covenant] rejoice!"-- 'Abdu'l-Baha (BNE pp. 249, 250)

Do you know how the so-called mainstream Baha'is became separated from the Provisions of the Covenant, and thus cut off from the safety, security and salvation of the promised one that began his mission in 1963? Do you know that only the Baha'is under the Provisions of the Covenant are the only ones who know that the promised judgement begins on May 2, 1994 with the total destruction of New York City? None of the other peoples of the world know this. Thus they will be the victims of the fire of Armageddon that will shortly succeed the destruction of New York.

In other words: DO YOU KNOW WHO DID IT? If you don't know you had pretty darn well find out!!!

WHO DID IT?

Shoghi Effendi had a lineal descendant, a son in embryo at his passing. This was kept secret by the "Hands," by labeling Baha'is Covenant-breakers by sharing this knowledge.

Jan Cornell, vice president of the Second International Baha'i Council, asked me to explain to you what took place and why. I know you investigate truth for yourself as this is one of Baha'u'llah's principles. The Hands were not infallible. Shoghi Effendi who was infallible reserved for himself the sole right to determine who is and who is not a Covenant-breaker and he never passed this authority on to a fallible body. The "Hands" that were fallible did not establish an infallible Universal House of Justice (UHJ). As they were fallible they were subject to error. What they established was not the Baha'i UHJ but one of their own fabrication, which was grossly flawed and doesn't even resemble the one delineated by 'Abdu'l-Baha. Baha'u'llah's House of Justice, as delineated by 'Abdu'l-Baha, is elected by National (secondary) Houses of Justice. There is not yet a single National House of Justice (NHJ) in the entire world today. They will evolve from National Baha'i Councils (NBCs) commencing when a nation becomes Baha'i. There are no Baha'i nations, so the "Hands" had their UHJ elected by National Spiritual Assemblies (NSAs).

Not only will the present-day Spiritual Assemblies be styled differently in future [as NBCs], but they will be enabled also to add to their present functions those powers, duties, and prerogatives necessitated by the recognition of the Faith of Baha'u'llah, not merely as one of recognized religious systems of the world, but as the STATE RELIGION of an independent and Sovereign Power.[1]

Not only must the UHJ be elected by National Houses of Justice that will be the State Religions of independent and Sovereign Powers; it also must have an Aghsan[2] guardian as its president, as set up by Shoghi Effendi when he formed the first International Baha'i Council in 1951.

And now, concerning the House of Justice [Baha'u'llah's] which God hath ordained as the source of all good and freed from all error,.... By this House is MEANT the Universal House of Justice, that is, in all countries a secondary House of Justice [NHJ] must be instituted, and these secondary Houses of Justice must elect the members of the Universal one... By thisbody all the difficult problems are to be resolved and the guardian of the Cause of God is its sacredhead and the distinguished member for life for thatbody.[3]

What the fallible "Hands" established was a headless monster, a body without a head. It certainly was not the Baha'i UHJ. The most that they established was an International Spiritual Assembly, and there is nothing in the writings for an International Spiritual Assembly, if there was it would not be infallible nor be the Baha'i UHJ.

So you see my friend, no way, do you have to be afraid of them. That monster cannot hurt you unless you follow it (theirSCHEME) into destruction. You are instructed by Baha'u'llah to the independent investigation of truth.

Shoghi Effendi had his "Hands" to assist him, during his living guardianship, to establish the world Court on Mt. Carmel in 1963[4], but he absolutely did not give them the authority to succeed him or to take over the functions of the guardianship, that is, like for them to decide who is or who is not a Covenant-breaker.

Shoghi Effendi left the Baha'is his successor--which was not another guardian like himself as his biological lineage came to an end--but the IBC that was to go through four stages, becoming the UHJ with another type of guardian as its president. The "Hands" ignored, or put aside this fact. Being fallible they erroneously established that, because Shoghi's lineage came to an end, the guardianship came to an end also. Its like saying that because apples are fruit all fruit are apples. This was not their decision to make. Shoghi Effendi left the UHJ in embryonic form that alone had decision making authority. The IBC should have been activated immediately, that is, during Shoghi's lifetime the IBC never had a meeting. It never made any decisions. Shoghi had the various members carry out certain duties, but none of these duties were decided upon by the members.

The IBC/UHJ was not to be activated until the passing of Shoghi Effendi. Before the president had an opportunity after Shoghi's passing to call the first meeting of the IBC--activating it--and it taking over its functions, the "Hands" jumped the gun on him, so-to-speak. The day after they arrived in Haifa after burying Shoghi in London the "Hands" met at Bahji in a clandestine conclave to decide what to do. After the prayers were read one of the Persian "Hands" sprung to his feet saying "Bada"--that God had broken His Covenant, He didn't give Shoghi a son and Shoghi left no will[5] therefore the guardianship had come to an end. He no more than sat down when the next Persian "Hand" seated beside him arose and recited the same formula and this proceeded from one Persian "Hand" to the next until they all had recited this same formula, which shows they were in collusion. The next in line was Ruhiyyih Khanum who assured them that Shoghi had no son and that he left no will therefore the guardianship had come to an end.[6] Then all the rest of the "Hands" adopted this formula. This is true! He had no genetic son. His lineal decendant was the IBC in embryo. It had a body appointed by him, and 'Abdu'l-Baha's son as its head.

5 No place does it say in any of the writings that the guardian should appoint his successor in a will. On the contrary the W&T states that he must appoint his successor during his lifetime--not in a will--what Shoghi Effendi did when he set up the first IBC. Also if he didn't have a son he must choose another Branch, an Aghsan.

6 Neither of these were the criteria laid down in the W&T. If he didn't have a son then he must choose another branch (from another tree) to succeed him--which Shoghi did--and he was not to appoint his successor in a will but during his lifetime--which Shoghi did when he set up the first IBC in 1951.

Shoghi Effendi was descended both from the lineage of Muhammad, through a collateral relative of the Bab on his fathers side, Mirza Hadi Afnan, and from the lineage of David on his mother's side who was a daughter of 'Abdu'l-Baha. In both the Imams of Islam and the Davidic kings of Judah the descendants are of the male line only. With the passing of Shoghi Effendi, who was infallible, his infallible lineage was passed on to his son, the IBC. What came to an end was the infallibility of succeeding guardians, described in the writings of Shoghi Effendi especially on pages 147-149 of The World Order of Baha'u'llah.

Shoghi descended from the twin Holy seas, the Bab and Baha'u'llah, but only of the male lineage of the Imams of Islam. Therefore he could not sit upon the throne of David or be president of the IBC/UHJ. As he did not have a genetic son he had to "choose another branch to succeed him"[7], who could only be from his other genealogy, and who must be a male descendant of Baha'u'llah and King David. Therefore when Shoghi Effendi appointed Mason Remey, 'Abdu'l-Baha's son by adoption, to be the president or head of the first International Baha'i Council (IBC) that was to become the Universal House of Justice (UHJ), Mason would then be the head, or president of the UHJ and thus be the guardian, as the head of the UHJ is the guardian. He had appointed an Aghsan guardian in the place of an Afnan or Imam guardian, for only an Aghsan[8] guardian could be the head, or president, of the UHJ. This is due to Baha'u'llah's lineage back to King David, and only His male descendant (an Aghsan, or Branch) could sit on David's throne that is to exist forever[9] Shoghi Effendi, who was not a male descendant of King David, could not sit upon the throne of David, thus his infallible Imam genealogy had to come to an end. This is why God didn't give Shoghi a genetic son. Thus an infallible guardian was replaced by a fallible guardian. The guardian is a member for life of the UHJ and none of the members have conferred infallibility. Only the UHJ is freed from all error, that is, when it is constructed according to the Will and Testament:

The House of Justice is freed from all error "if it be established under the necessary conditions" (SAQ p. 198), "It must be elected by secondary Houses of Justice" (W&T p. 14), "not merely as one of recognized religious systems of the world, but as the STATE RELIGION of an independent and Sovereign Power"[10] (WOB p. 6-7), "with members elected from all the people" (SAQ p. 199), "it must be elected by universal suffrage, that is, by the believers" (W&T p. 14), "the guardian of the Cause of God is its sacred head and distinguished member for life of that body" (W&T p. 14), "but the body of the House of Justice is under the protection of God: this is called conferred infallibility" (SAQ p. 199).

Don't the people following the violation read the Divine Writings? Can't they see that a hoax has been perpetrated on them, suckering them into following false doctrine and violation of the Covenant, or don't they care? Certainly the monster established on Mt. Carmel by the "Hands" doesn't meet any of the criteria for the UHJ as quoted above: It was not "elected by secondary Houses of Justice," but by National Spiritual Assemblies. None of these NSAs "were the STATE RELIGION of an independent and Sovereign Power." They were not "elected by all the people" of the world. It was not "elected by the

believers" but by Covenant-breakers. It does not have "the guardian of the Cause of God as its sacred head and distinguished member for life of that body." Therefore it is not "under the protection of God," and thus does not have "conferred infallibility."

'Abdu'l-Baha who was Baha'u'llah's son, who was a descendant of King David and sat on the throne of King David, had an only natural son who died in infancy. This would have brought King David's lineage through 'Abdu'l-Baha to an end, so 'Abdu'l-Baha adopted Mason Remey to be his son, replacing his natural son. This was necessary as David's lineage seated on the throne was to last forever,[11] 'Abdu'l-Baha's Aghsan (Branches) were to be the guardians of the Baha'i faith, seated on the throne of David as presidents of the UHJ. This adoption was a legal adoption according to the laws of two empires that had ruled Palestine (The Ottoman and the British) before it became the state of Israel. This was also according to the laws of the state of Israel.

Adoption

When 'Abdu'l-Baha adopted Mason Remey to succeed him to the throne of David as his son, this was legal and binding. According to the laws of the Ottoman Empire of the Middle East that ruled over Palestine before it became the State of Israel, the adoption law was that when a man called another person his son, this was a legal adoption. Then the British mandate that succeeded the Ottoman Empire retained the adoption laws of the Ottoman Empire as legal and binding under their rule. Then for the Israeli government the law for adoption has remained the same. If a man calls another his son and leaves him a token to show inheritance (whether it be a stick or a stone or something), then the adoption is legal and binding. When 'Abdu'l-Baha proclaimed that Mason was his son (privately, publicly and in letters published in Star of the West Magazine), these were not "vague terms of affection but expressed the precise legal relationship which had been created between them." Here is cited the law of adoption in the Middle East (from Ottoman times to the present) upheld in the Israeli Supreme Court on June 22, 1960, long after 'Abdu'l-Baha adopted Mason to be his son.

This idea of equating adopted children with natural children in matters of succession is well expressed in a responsum of Rabbi Jacob Emden which the learned Judge cited in another decision, In re Succession of the late Yoseph Blum deceased (4) (at pp. 161), as follows: "If he rears the child for the glory of God the child is certainly to be regarded as his child and not only in lineage, but even where the child had parents and is being brought up by the stranger as a meritorious act, if the latter has no children ['Abdu'l-Baha had no living natural sons] and is bringing up the child to be his son to succeed him and they address each other as father and son" (response of Yavetz, Part 1, section 168). So also with the deceased in the present case: He reared the child as his daughter to succeed him, and she called him "father" and he called her "daughter." These were not vague terms of affection but expressed the precise legal relationship which had been created between them--at any rate with respect to the matter of succession.[12]

This was usually confirmed by some token such as a stick or a stone, or something, to

12 Selected Judgments from the Israeli Supreme Court Vol. iii,pp. 426-427.

make it definite that it was meant that it was a legal adoption. This is called institutive evidence.

Institutive evidence is that which is created or adopted as a memorial of a fact and for the purpose of being evidence of the fact. The stone set up for a boundary; the giving and receiving of a clod of earth or a twig in livery of seizing as evidence or the transfer of the title [etc]....[13]

The master gave Mr. Remey what no one else ever received--relics of the Blood and Hair of Baha'u'llah; in the East this act symbolizes Mr. Remey's adoption as a Son by 'Abdu'l-Baha and his becoming a member of the Holy Family.[14]

Shoghi Effendi recognized 'Abdu'l-Baha's adoption of Mason as true and legal. Immediately after the death of 'Abdu'l-Baha, Shoghi Effendi sent Mason Remey a "package of 'Abdu'l-Baha's most sacred possession," which was left to Shoghi to give to Mason Remey as his inheritance: "locks of Baha'u'llah's hair" (which represents the headship of the IBC/UHJ) and "drops of his coagulated blood" (which represents the bloodline of David and Baha'u'llah). On the outside of the package Shoghi Effendi addressed it to 'Abdu'l-Baha's "dear son" whom he later appointed to the headship of the IBC/UHJ. The hair and blood are the tokens of inheritance. "'Abdu'l-Baha's most prized possession" shows the evidence of the "legal adoption passed on from father to son"--'Abdu'l-Baha to Mason. This type of direct evidence of a token is called "institutive evidence":

Thus Shoghi Effendi brought Mason Remey to Haifa and instituted him into the Holy Family. He sat him at the dinner table of the Holy Family, next to himself, the seat of Honor, at his right. He entered the shrines directly behind Shoghi and then the other people followed. At functions of State, such as the funeral of Ben Gurian, with Shoghi leading the procession, Mason walked directly behind him. Then when Shoghi set up the IBC/UHJ he appointed Mason, 'Abdu'l-Baha's son, to be its the head--president--for only 'Abdu'l-Baha son, a male descendant of King David, could sit upon the throne of David, that Baha'u'llah moved from Nur to Mt. Carmel. Baha'u'llah's father sat upon the throne of David and Baha'u'llah "the Great Prince"[15] inherited that throne.

How did the "Hands", after the passing of Shoghi Effendi, become involved in the decision-making and deciding the course of action to take in the place of the IBC with an Aghsan guardian as its president, that Shoghi Effendi set up to succeed him. When you die your hands cease also to be active. They no longer do things for you after you're dead. The very same thing is true in the Baha'i faith. The "Hands" are appointed by and are under the direction of a the living guardian only:

O friends! The Hands of the Cause of God must be nominated and appointed by the guardian of the Cause of God. All must be under his shadow and obey

his command....This body is under the direction of the [living] guardian of Cause of God. He must continually urge them to strive and endeavor to the utmost of their ability to diffuse the sweet savors of God....[16]

When the guardian dies and is no longer the living guardian he can no longer continually activate and control his "hands", just like when you die you will not be able to activate and control your hands. Just like your hands, on your death, cease to function, so do the "hands" of the guardian cease to function.

Shoghi Effendi appointed the "Hands" and in his last letter he called the "Hands" the chief stewards, and indeed they were the chief stewards during his lifetime, but when he died those that were Shoghi's "Hands" ceased to be "Hands", and thus ceased to be chief stewards. That is the "Hands" were only "Chief Stewards" during the lifetime of Shoghi Effendi. Nothing that Shoghi Effendi wrote or instituted could in anyway be construed to mean that the Chief Stewards in any way were to succeed Shoghi Effendi, for that would be in violation to the W&T, and certainly Shoghi in no way could be in violation to the "Will".

This being the case, just how did the "Hands" get into control of the faith? You know it just didn't happen! No how according to reason and the Holy writings were the "Hands" to become reactivated after they ceased to be "Hands" and take control! While the Baha'i world was asleep, for they all should have known these truths that I have just put forth, an evil force came and did all of this. This force didn't do this to save the faith as they put forth, but to continue their own positions in the faith.

This evil force had to be very astute and subtle and also be in a position to orchestrate with cunning, a scheme using deceit, artifice and stratagem. Nefarious violations as the one stated above have always occurred at the very top. With Jesus it was Judas, the most zealous apostle. With Baha'u'llah it was his own brother Mirza Yahya. With 'Abdu'l-Baha it was also his brother, Muhammad Ali. Just who could this person be that has put the "Hands" in authority? Certainly it couldn't be Ruhiyyih Khanum. Wasn't she the wife of the Beloved Guardian, Shoghi Effendi, and didn't he give her her spiritual name Ruhiyyih Khanum, which means "spirit like lady." She was so highly revered and eulogized that to even suggest she could be that evil force would be sacrilegious. If you thought for even a minute that I was in the least way inferring that she would do such a thing you would immediately tear up this letter and refuse to hear anything more that I have to say. Therefore it is out of the question to even consider her, but she was in a very strategic position that we must peruse if we are to identify the real culprit. She was the only one present at the passing of Shoghi Effendi. She was a "Hand" and Shoghi Effendi's liaison officer to the first International Baha'i Council, which was the UHJ in its first stage and the successor to Shoghi Effendi. Ruhiyyih was very well aware of this.

After she found Shoghi Effendi dead in his room, she as his liaison officer sent a cable to Leroy Ioas, the secretary of the IBC, stating that Shoghi Effendi was sick with the Asiatic flu and she requested that he send cablegrams to all National Spiritual Assemblies asking for prayers from the believers for his recovery. As his liaison officer it was meant that Shoghi was having her request this for him. That is why she said he was only sick, because she was no longer Shoghi's liaison officer as he was dead. She was also no longer a "Hand" as Shoghi was already dead. She then had a rendez-vous with the Persian "Hand"

Balyuzi living in London. It was he that had all the other Persian "Hands" declare "Bada" in the conclave. After talking with him she sent another message to the secretary of the IBC/UHJ stating that Shoghi was dead, and requesting that he send cablegrams to all National Spiritual Assemblies requesting them to inform all Local Spiritual Assemblies, and for them to have memorial services for him. She did this as the Liaison officer, continuing her status in that position although it was now known that Shoghi was dead. The reason that she sent this message to the secretary of the IBC/UHJ is that she knew that the IBC being the embryonic UHJ was the authoritative body that was to succeed Shoghi Effendi, and it was the secretary's function to inform the NSAs to inform the proletariat (the mass of the world Baha'is). She also knew that Mason as president was the guardian.

This brought all the other "Hands" except Agnes Alexander of Australia and Corinne True of Chicago, both being sick and elderly, to London. Mason coming from America, arrived last. After burying Shoghi in London they came to Haifa. There she had the "Hands" make a thorough search of Shoghi's things to see if he had left a "Will". This was to have the "Hands" and all Baha'is to believe that this was the method in which a guardian was supposed to appoint his successor, although the W&T states that the guardian must appoint his successor during his lifetime[17]--not in a Will--as this is only read after his passing. This was to derail them from looking for someone that Shoghi had already appointed and published, which he did when he appointed Mason to be the president, or guardian, of the IBC/UHJ. Because the guardian is an appointed position the president or guardian of the IBC is the president or Guardian when it becomes the UHJ, as the guardian is the head or president of the UHJ.

And now, concerning the House of justice which God hath ordained as the source of all good and freed from all error,...By this body all the difficult problems are to be resolved and the Guardian of the Cause of God is its sacred head and the distinguished member for life of that body[18].

When they finished their search and found no "Will", and she informed them that he had no son, she then sent another message, but this time not to the secretary of the IBC. Bypassing the IBC, she sent it directly to all the National Spiritual Assemblies to inform the mass of the Baha'is that on the morrow the "Hands" would assemble and decide what to do next. Here she was setting up the "Hands", a nonauthoritative body that ceased to exist in function as "Hands" after the passing of Shoghi Effendi, to become the authoritative body in place of the authoritative body--the IBC/UHJ. The next day when they met in conclave Balyuzi had it all set up for all the Persian "Hands" to declare the guardianship ended.

In order for her scheme to work it was imperative to get rid of the guardianship. If she had brought her plan to the authoritative body, the IBC that was set up by Shoghi to succeed him, no how would they do this, mainly because the president of that body was 'Abdu'l-Baha's son, the guardian of the Cause of God, and he certainly would not allow someone to do away with the guardianship. Therefore she by-passed what was the authoritative body and Shoghi's successor, and went to the "Hands", a nonauthoritative body that ceased to exist as "Hands" with the passing of Shoghi, to have them become the decisive authority in the Baha'i faith in place of the God-given IBC/UHJ. Their first

function was to get rid of the hereditary Guardianship. Next they were to get rid of the IBC.

Death of Balyuzi

All those who break the Covenant suffer terrible deaths. 'Abdu'l-Baha writes in the Will and Testament:

Were he to incline a hair's breadth to the right or to the left, his deviation would be established and his utter nothingness made manifest. And now ye are witnessing how the wrath of God hath from all sides afflicted him and how he is speeding towards destruction. Ere long will ye behold him and his associates, outwardly and inwardly, condemned to utter ruin. (W&T, p. 6.)

Hasan Balyuzi suffered terrible guilt and remorse for his violation and his part in instigating the Persian Hands to say Bada. Here seen through the eyes of his son is the terrible demise that he sank into until his death in 1980. Tormented by guilt and self incrimination he was "Punished" (as his son puts it) "by illness of the body and near mental breakdown" until his gruesome end.

I can still recall vividly that day of November 1957 when, as a child of thirteen, I stood on the graveside as Shoghi Effendi's coffin was lowered into the ground. In that charged moment I can remember looking up at my father [Hasan Balyuzi] and marking how rigid and motionless he stood, his face almost devoid of expression. When he came to speak the final prayer, the one of Baha'u'llah's which begins "Glory be to Thee, O God, for Thy manifestation of love to Mankind!" he did so almost in monotone, his voice sounding to me drained of emotion. I could not properly understand then, but believe now, in the knowledge of all that happened after, that at that moment his heart was broken. The depth of his grieving was such that he was in a state of profound shock in which his feelings were numbered so that emotion could find little outlet.

For six years after that he kept going, borne along by the force of events during a time of great crisis and momentous decisions, when the duties imposed upon by his station as a hand of the Cause had to be met. But after the culminating events of this period, the election of the first Universal House of Justice and the Baha'i World Congress in London in 1963, the increasingly fragile prop of physical health finally collapsed and he [Balyuzi]plunged into a dark and despairing retreatpunished by illness of the body and near mental breakdown.

In her memorial article Mrs. Hoffman has written of how his mind was filled with the "foreboding of guilt for his wasted days and abdication of his responsibilities as a Hand."[19]

Balyuzi must have felt like Judas after he betrayed Christ for thirty pieces of silver, but unlike Judas that hung himself in despair, Balyuzi feared death, he was afraid that when he closed his eyes for the last time to this world and opened them to the next he realized the

great punishment that awaited him, for he had committed the most great sin which was blasphemy against the Holy Spirit--he knew the truth and went against it--which is not forgiven in this world or the next. Like Christ on the cross said "Father please forgive them for they know not what they do." He didn't include Judas in this, for Judas knew what he did.

Note from what Balyuzi's son said above that after: "the election of the first Universal House of Justice...the increasingly fragile prop of physical health finally collapsed and he [Balyuzi] plunged into a dark and despairing retreatpunished by illness of the body and near mental breakdown." Balyuzi knew that House of Justice was not the Baha'i House of Justice, but a headless monster that he and Ruhiyyih had created.

This conspiracy between Ruhiyyih and Hasan M. Balyuzi resulted in the "Hands" becoming the deciding body of the faith in place of the IBC/UHJ after the passing of Shoghi Effendi. This resulted in the Guardianship being declared ended and the Baha'is becoming oppressed, with the threat of expulsion for even discussing the matter among themselves much less from searching independently the truth for themselves. What is wrong with all of this? On the very last page of the W&T 'Abdu'l- Baha states:

To none is given the right to put forth his own opinion or express his particular convictions. All must seek guidance and turn unto the Center of the Cause [Shoghi Effendi] and the House of Justice [IBC/UHJ] And he that turneth unto whatsoever else is indeed in grievous error.

What Ruhiyyih did was to have the whole Baha'i world to turn to "something else" other than the IBC/UHJ that Shoghi Effendi had set up to be his successor, thus she was in "grievous error." She is the only one that could possibly do this as she was after Shoghi Effendi the highest one on the totem pole, so to speak, and was so eulogized to such a degree as to never be suspect. She was the only one in such a position and so respected that she alone could do this and get away with it.

Ruhiyyih was not a simple person, nor was she an ignoramus. She was knowledgeable and very precise. She knew exactly what she was doing. She knew that the IBC/UHJ was the successor to her husband, and knew why Mason was part of the Holy Family. She sat on one side of Shoghi at the dinner table and Mason sat in the seat of honor on his other side. She knew that Mason was the president (head) of the IBC/UHJ and the succeeding guardian. She knew she had the skill to pull off the coup of the century, and she knew that she could get away with it, for she knew that she would be beyond suspect, and thus the only one that could pull this off. Therefore she became the ARCH Covenant-breaker leading the entire Baha'i community astray. Whereas those Arch Covenant-breakers of the past, such as Yahya and Muhammad 'Ali were only able to affect a part of the believers, therefore making Ruhiyyih the most detestable person in the world. She will go down in infamy and disgrace.

Just why did Ruhiyyih do this? She must have had a motive! Look at it from her point of view. Here she was the wife of the "Beloved Guardian", the most powerful person in the Baha'i faith and the only infallible person in the world, and she was honored to be his mouthpiece. With his passing she was no longer his wife, but a widow, and was no longer his mouthpiece and no longer his liaison officer to the IBC. When he was alive she was a "Hand" of the faith with all of its power, glory and respect and now she is no longer a "Hand". She was still a member of the IBC, but after its becoming a world court in 1963 the body would then be elected and she might not be elected to that court. She might even

have to move from her apartment on 10 Carmel Avenue, for the occupation of the succeeding guardian. From the highest pomp, glory and power reduced to a has-been, or just an ordinary Baha'i. What she did prevented this from happening. To give further insight to how she felt, quoting from Francis C. Spataro on Mason's diary, it becomes clear that she didn't want the guardianship to continue:

Shoghi Effendi died in London on November 4, 1957 and was buried in the Great Northern Cemetery. This was the start of trying times for the Baha'i Faith; for since no Will could be found, it was not clear how the succession was to go. The body of advisors to the late Guardian, called the Hands of the Cause, were not legally able to carry on without a guardian. Eventually decided, over the objections of a minority led by Mason Remey, that they must take over the administration of the Baha'i Faith. In this they were assisted and abetted by Ruhiyyih Rabbani, the widow of the deceased guardian. She swore that if another guardian were chosen by the International House of Justice (some say she did not want to vacate the Guardian's mansion), she would abandon the Baha'i Faith and retire to as far away from Haifa as possible, if necessary, to "somewhere up into the wilds of Tibet." (Remey, 1976)

Why did the "Hands" go along with her scheme? Why would they do this dirty work to save her from her plight? They had no obligation to do this. But look at their plight. Here are 26 "Hands"--not including Mason Remey--as Hands of the faith under the guardianship of Shoghi Effendi, who were in the limelight and were extolled, eulogized and lauded being in pomp, glory and power, a status envied by many Baha'is, are now finding themselves as has-beens--just ordinary Baha'is. It was just a gloomy outlook not expecting to be raised to their former status by being appointed to such a position by the succeeding guardian. With the passing of 'Abdu'l-Baha, his Hands were not adopted by Shoghi Effendi. Their hopes for future grandeur was nil. Most of the "Hands" although appearing very spiritual were very materialistic and self-centered. Ruhiyyah had their answer, she wiped away their gloom and pumped new life into them. She raised them to a state far above what they had under the guardianship of Shoghi Effendi. She made them the deciding body of the faith--replacing the IBC/UHJ--becoming the successors to Shoghi Effendi. They were no longer bridled and directed by a living guardian. They were able to draw from the Baha'i fund and took over the Huquq--the guardian's fund--and they were free to do as they darn well pleased. Certainly they jumped at the chance that Ruhiyyih offered them. She breathed new life into them, but they paid for this by selling their souls to the devil. They were ego-crazed despots sacrificing their eternal life, for a few paltry years of earthly rule.

In that first conclave, after they did away with the guardianship, Mason tried to explain to them that when the IBC became the world court in 1963 the guardian would then be known. This angered them. Then someone made another motion to end all speculation of a continuation of the guardianship and that any discussion on the matter throughout the Baha'i world was out of order. Thus they oppressed the proletariat, the poor, spiritually starved souls after the take-over, with the threat of expulsion if they sought the truth of the "claim of the 'Hands'" on the matter of succession.

In the Kitab-i-Iqan Baha'u'llah explains that in every dispensation after the departure of the Manifestation and his immediate successors a great oppression arises from within the religion and that this oppression is necessary in order for the people to come into a greater understanding of the verities of that dispensation, therefore He is saying that the people of

His Revelation will be oppressed.

What "oppression" is greater that which hath been recounted? What "oppression" is more grievous than that a soul seeking the truth, and wishing to attain unto the knowledge of God, should know not where to go for it and from whom to seek it?[20]

By it is meant that when the Day-star of Truth hath set, and the mirrors that reflect His light have departed, mankind will become afflicted with "oppression" and hardship, knowing not whither to turn for guidance.[21]

This "oppression" is the essential feature of every Revelation. Unless it cometh to pass, the Sun of Truth will not be made manifest. For the break of the morn of divine guidance must needs follow the darkness of the night of error.[22]

Baha'u'llah made no exception to this, His own Dispensation is included here! The timing of this great oppression? When "the mirrors that reflect His light have departed," i.e. after the passing of those descendants of Bahau'llah who have been appointed by name and in writing--'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi. Thus it was immediately that upon the passing of Shoghi Effendi this oppression was inflicted upon the Baha'i world with the usurpation of authority by the Hands of the Cause, and their suppression of the people's right to independently investigate the truth or falsity of the Hand's claim that they were now the supreme authority of the Baha'i world.

However they made a firm pact that all of Shoghi Effendi's plans and instructions were to be carried out to the letter including that the IBC was to become a world court on Mt. Carmel in 1963, as Shoghi had left implicit instructions on this.

All of this did not set very well with the rank and file believers. They knew that the "Hands" were fallible and for them to take over the functions of the guardianship was unnerving to a large number of worldwide Baha'is. It is said--through the grape vine, and it may not be true as the statistics are not available--that a large number of the believers left the administration of the "Hands". Some say that perhaps from one-forth to one-third broke away. To them they felt that the "Hands" had destroyed the World Order of Baha'u'llah. The situation was desperate. The "Hands" had to come up with something (pull a rabbit out of a hat), or that whole situation would explode in their faces and they wouldn't be able to handle it. So two years after the 1957 conclave, in 1959, the "Hands" met in another clandestine conclave. Being fallible the "Hands" were pressed to establish some form of infallibility[23] to pass upon what they had done. The only infallibility that they would consider was that as Shoghi Effendi was infallible and the UHJ was infallible, thus they invented the credo for them to go from one point of infallibility (Shoghi) to

23 There was nothing in the Baha'i writings that could give them any kind of authority for what they were doing.

another point of infallibility (UHJ). Thus they broke their pledge not to go against Shoghi Effendi. They decided in this conclave to do away with Shoghi's plan to have the IBC with the membership that Shoghi had appointed, that was to become a world court in 1963, for their plan to establish the UHJ instead, which they said would be infallible. They knew if they had proceeded with the Divine Plan of Shoghi Effendi and established the World Court with Mason at its head (judge), that the Baha'i world would then recognize that indeed Mason was the guardian, as Mason had told them. At that moment they had decided to go against God, for to go against the infallible guardian Shoghi Effendi was to go against God.[24] They abolished the first IBC, including the membership on that Council that Shoghi had appointed, including its president. Then they elected a body that was to be the prelude to the election of the first UHJ in 1963, in place of Shoghi's plan to have the first IBC that he had appointed the membership of, to be the world court that they were to set up in 1963. Because of this gross violation of the Covenant Mason had no other alternative but to break with these Covenant-breakers, going into voluntary exile from Mt. Carmel. On his way to America he wrote the "Hands" a first appeal and a second appeal and then the last appeal for the "Hands" to reconsider their violation, but to no avail.

Mason came to America not just because this was his home but because he believed the American Baha'is were firm in the Covenant and once they found out what was going on on Mt. Carmel, they would put a stop to their violation of the Covenant. He prepared a well-written proclamation of what the "Hands" were up to and explained that he as the president(head) of the IBC in its first stage, was indeed the (head) in its final stage (UHJ), as guardian, for the head of the UHJ is the guardian of the Baha'i faith.[25] Shoghi Effendi appointed the members of both the head and the body of the IBC but only the body was to be elected after it became a world court, as the guardian is appointed, not elected, and a member for life of that body. He sent his proclamation out to all the secretaries of the Local Spiritual Assemblies in the U.S.A. This didn't work except for those who were looking for the truth. The reason being is that the "Hands" sent out a cable to the American NSA telling them to inform all Baha'is that Mason had broken the Covenant, and as a Covenant-breaker they were instructed to shun him and not read anything from him. They were either to send anything from him back unopened or to throw it in the garbage or to send it on to the NSA. The Covenant-breaking "Hands" knew darn well that Mason did not break the Covenant, they just didn't want the Baha'is to know what was happening in Haifa. The Baha'is wanted to be dutiful to their ring leaders--the "Hands"--so they did as they were told. If the Baha'is just thought for a minute they would have known that the "Hands" had no authority to determine who is or who is not Covenant-breaker. This authority was passed on from Shoghi to his successor which was the IBC/UHJ with the guardian as its president.

By the "Hands" doing away with Shoghi's appointed membership of his IBC including its president (guardian) and not having it become a world court in 1963 they were going against Shoghi Effendi, who had appointed them and to whom they were to be submissive. They were not only going against Shoghi but in reality were going against God.

O ye faithful loved ones of 'Abdu'l-Baha! It is incumbent upon you to take the greatest care of Shoghi Effendi, the twig [Afnan] that has branched from the fruit given forth by the two hallowed and Divine Lote-Trees, [the Bab

and Baha'u'llah]....For he is after 'Abdu'l-Baha, the guardian of the Cause of God, the Afnan, the Hands (pillars) of the Cause and the beloved of the Lord must obey him and turn unto him. He that obeyeth him not, hath not obeyed God; he that turneth away from him, hath turned away from God and he that denieth him, hath denied the True One.

This left Mason no other alternative but to expel these Covenant-breakers from the Baha'i religious faith. In Mason's second encyclical letter Mason expelled the "Hands" for Covenantbreaking and in his third encyclical he expelled all those that followed the "Hands" in their violation. Those that follow, what they term "the mainstream Baha'is" that have their blinders on and fingers in their ears, don't know that they are outside of the Baha'i faith. Only those that are under the provisions of the Covenant are in the Baha'i faith.

These tests that have been going on are to determine who is and who is not firm in the Covenant. Had the "Hands" accepted the continuation of the guardianship in the presidency of the IBC there would have been no test. But as it was the believers had to choose between the "Hands faith" and the Baha'i faith. Before the Baha'i faith is accepted by the masses of the peoples of the world this test had to take place, otherwise somewhere down the road after the Kingdom is established it would be in jeopardy of being taken over by some corrupt group. Once this test is over it will never happen again. No one will ever accept a guardianless faith. It will last forever.

Why is this so all important? In the Kitab-i-Ahd (Book of the Covenant) Baha'u'llah tells us that a "mighty power and supreme potency is hidden and concealed in the world of being."

Anent this matter, we have revealed in the Book of Aqdas the following words which radiate the light of divine mercy:

Oh my Branches! [sons] A mighty power and supreme potency is hidden and concealed in the world of being. Focus your gaze upon it and upon the direction of its unity,

Here Baha'u'llah tells us to "Focus your gaze upon it and upon the direction of its unity...." Here Baha'u'llah is directing us to turn to the mighty power and supreme potency that is now concealed in the world of being, which alone is the Center of unity in the world, and that is Baha'u'llah's genealogy that is hidden from the world. Then he tells us to turn to 'Abdu'l-Baha "who is the most great Branch issued from this ancient Root." The purpose of God preserving David's lineage to be the guardian, is that for five hundred thousand years all the people will be able to determine the authenticity of the UHJ, by having a guardian that is the descendant of King David through Baha'u'llah and being appointed by the previous guardian as the president or head of the UHJ. Any UHJ that does not have this authentic guardian as its president is a phoney UHJ. (see exhibit D)

God's Will and Testament enjoins upon the branches [His sons], the twigs--Afnan--collateral relatives of the Bab], and the kinsfolk, one and all, to gaze upon the most great Branch. Consider what we have revealed in my Book of Aqdas, to wit: "When the sea of My presence is exhausted and the Book of Origin hath reached its end, turn you unto him (Abdu'l-Baha) who is desired by God--he who is issued from this ancient Root." The purpose of

this verse is the most great Branch.[26]

'Abdu'l-Baha in the 12th chapter of SAQ quotes Isaiah 11:1 and then explains it:

"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem [penis] of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots;" [p. 72] .....This rod out of the stem of Jesse might be correctly applied to Christ, for Joseph was of the descendancy of Jesse the Father of David [p. 73];... But these verses apply word for word to Baha'u'llah [p. 74]:

Baha'u'llah is the ancient Root and 'Abdu'l-Baha is the most great Branch. 'Abdu'l-Baha continued this genealogy in his adopted son Mason Remey, as his natural son died in infancy' and Shoghi Effendi continued this genealogical line of David by appointing Mason the president of the UHJ.

The "Hands" cried BADA--God broke His Covenant--which is a damnable LIE! God said:

I will not violate my covenant, or alter the word that went forth from my lips. Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David. His line shall endure for ever, his throne as long as the sun before me. Like the moon it shall be established for ever; it shall stand firm while the skies endure.[27]

God had preserved this line of David seated upon the throne, the genealogy of Baha'u'llah, in what was called the exilarchs, the genealogical line of David seated upon the throne of David in captivity in Babylonia and then in succeeding empires on to Baha'u'llah. Jesus also was of the line of David--this is the meaning of the word Christ:

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,...for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.[28]

Jesus however was of a different lineage from David than that of Baha'u'llah. None of Jesus' ancestors sat upon the throne of David. He descended from David's son Nathan,[29] who was not a king, or seated on the throne, but was the brother of David's son King Solomon, who as seated on the throne.[30] Therefore Jesus said that his kingdom was not of this world.[31] Three great religious systems are waiting for the Messiah (a Christ--a descendant of David that is anointed) whose kingdom is of this world: The Jews are waiting

for the Messiah. The Christians and Muslims are waiting for the second coming of Christ (Messiah), whose kingdom will be of this world. The prophet Isaiah prophesied the advent of that Messiah--Baha'u'llah:

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."[32]

This prophecy does not refer to Jesus as the Christians think, but to Baha'u'llah. Jesus was born and he was a son but the government was not on the shoulder of Jesus. All that he said of government was to give unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to give unto God that which is God's. He was not called the Mighty God, or the Everlasting Father, but the "SON". And he said he didn't come to bring peace but a sword. However Baha'u'llah fulfilled the prophecy that Jesus made: "For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Fatherwith the Holy angels.[33] The potency of the Revelation of Jesus was that of the "SON" while the Revelation of Baha'u'llah is of the potency of that of the "FATHER". The prophecy of Isaiah goes on to state:

Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with Justice UHJ] and righteousness from this time forth and forevermore.[34]

Baha'u'llah in His proclamation claims to fulfill this prophecy:

The Most Great Law is come, and the Ancient Beauty [Baha'u'llah] ruleth upon the throne of David. Thus my pen written that which the histories of bygone ages hath related.[35]

Who is a LIAR, God or the "Hands"? God said this lineage of David seated on his throne will exist forever. The "Hands" said HELL NO, that it came to an end with the passing of Shoghi Effendi. Who are you going to continue to believe? The "Hands" or God??? When this message of the "Kingdom" is brought to the attention of the world everybody will become believers. Jesus said:

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come. "So when you see the desolated sacrilege spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)...."[36]

36 Matthew 24:15.

"The desolated sacrilege" is the "Hands" and their created monster occupying the Holy places on Mt. Carmel, in the place of the "world court" with the Davidic king as its president. This is analogous to Antiochus desecrating the temple by having the pigs run through the Holy of Holies.

Before the "Great Catastrophe there will be 144,000 come out of the great violation and support the "Kingdom". Then after the great catastrophe and before the end of this century everybody will become believers.[37] To understand this more fully read the seventh chapter of Revelation, realizing that the Baha'i faith is the regathered twelve tribes of Israel under its new name Baha'i.

There is so much to talk about and to explain which is far beyond this precursory letter, such as the tragic violation of Mason and the role that I play, that it is almost paramount that we meet.

The tragedy of the great violation that the Baha'i world had so completely succumbed to is enough to bring a grown man to tears, but Baha'u'llah in the Tablet of the Temple predicted that every one would fail. Howbeit the tests were essential, for they show the frailty of one's beliefs and lack of firmness in the Covenant. However God didn't completely abandon the believers. He sent them a savior that would reroute them back to the Kingdom if they would just turn to him.

The most well-known prophecy of 'Abdu'l-Baha is recorded in the most read Baha'i book over the last sixty years, Baha'u'llah and the New Era (BNA), in Chapter 14, PROPHECIES OF BAHA'U'LLAH AND 'ABDU'L-BAHA, subtitle the Coming of the Kingdom of God, explaining Daniel 12:12 prophecy of the 1335 days/years prophesying the date for the advent of this savior, called "Blessed is He". When the disciples asked Jesus when he was going to come again (Matt. 24:3) he told them to turn to Daniel (Matt. 24:15) for the date. In chapter 12:6 of Daniel he gives the date of 3 1/2 times that 'Abdu'l-Baha explained on page 52 of SAQ[38] was the lunar year of 1260 A.H., or 1844 A.D., the date of the Advent of the Bab. On the same page (52) of SAQ 'Abdu'l-Baha explained verse 12:11 of Daniel of the 1290 days/years as 1880 A.H., or 1290 lunar years from the Proclamation of Muhammad to the Proclamation of Baha'u'llah in 1863 A.D. Also on the same page of SAQ 'Abdu'l-Baha quotes Daniel 12:12 but doesn't explain it:

Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

To get 'Abdu'l-Baha's explanation of the Advent of this Blessed Person we must turn to Baha'u'llah and The New Eraunder the sub title of the Coming of the Kingdom of God:

In a table-talk at which the writer [Esselmont] was present 'Abdu'l-Baha reckoned the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy from the date of the beginning of the Muhammadan era.[39] 'Abdu'l-Baha's Tablets make it clear that this

prophecy refers to the one-hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad, or the year 1963.

We don't need to look for this "Blessed is he (Person)" among the Covenant-breakers on Mt. Carmel, for this pertains to The Coming of the Kingdom of God. They did away with the Kingdom of God when they did away with the King of that Kingdom when the), did away with the Davidic King ('Abdu'l-Baha's son) who was the president of the first IBC. What the "Hands" established in the place of the kingdom was not the "Kingdom" but a Republic without even a President as its head. They could not elect a president like other republics because they know that in the Baha'i faith the president would be the guardian, and they know they cannot elect a guardian. He must be appointed by a previous guardian, which Shoghi Effendi did when he set up the first IBC with Mason as its president.

When Shoghi Effendi set up the IBC he called it the firstInternational Baha'i Council.

Proclaim National Assemblies of East and West weighty epoch-making decision of formation of first International Baha'i Council, forerunner of supreme administrative institution destined to emerge in fullness of time within precincts beneath shadow of World Spiritual Center of Faith .... To these will be added further functions in course of evolution of this first embryonic International Institution, marking its development into officiallyrecognized Baha'i Court, its transformation into duly elected body [not including the head], its efflorescence into Universal House of Justice .... Hail with thankful joyous heart at long last the constitution of International Council which history will acclaim as the greatest event shedding luster upon second epoch of formative Age of Baha'i Dispensation potentially unsurpassed by any enterprise undertaken since inception of Administrative Order of Faith on Morrow of 'Abdu'l-Baha's Ascension, ranking second only to glorious immortal events associated with Ministries of the Three Central Figures of Faith in course of First Age of most glorious Dispensation of the five thousand century Baha'i Cycle.

Why did Shoghi Effendi write, "history will acclaim" the "constitution of the International Council...as the greatest event ....potentially unsurpassed by any enterprise undertaken since inception of Administrative Order of Faith .... ranking second only to events [of] Ministries of the Three Central Figures of Faith in course of....the five thousand century Baha'i Cycle"? Was it for the "Hands" to get rid of it and establish something "else", that is to turn to them (the "hands") instead? No the IBC was the greatest event because it was the Universal House of Justice in its beginning form that everybody must turn to upon the passing of the "Center of the Cause", Shoghi Effendi. "All must turn to the Center of the Cause and the House of Justice. And he that turneth untowhatsoever else is indeed in grievous error" (last page of the W&T). This IBC/UHJ is to exist for five hundred thousand (500,000) years. No place in any of the Divine writings does it give any authority to turn to the "Hands" instead, and then to turn to anything that they may contrive.

Although this first IBC is of secondary importance to the Ministries of the three central figures of the First Age of the five thousand century Baha'i Cycle, why did he call it the firstIBC? This is because he anticipated a second to take the place of the first. Undoubtedly Shoghi knew that his "Hands" were going to screw-up. Why did he set the date for it to become a world court in 1963, the same year for the Advent of "Blessed is he"? He gave the IBC the authority to establish the second stage of the IBC as the World Court in

1963, but the "Hands" usurped this authority to establish the "World Court". At the very moment (Ridvan 1963) that the "Hands" were violating the trust that they had assumed by having their monster UHJ elected on Mt. Carmel, instead of the "World Court," giving their final coup d'etat to the guardianship, the authority that they had assumed to carry out Shoghi Effendi's mission passed from these Covenant-breaking "Hands" into the hands of "Blessed is he" who was elected at that very moment to the first National Spiritual Assembly under the second guardian of the Baha'i faith, and "Blessed is He" began his mission at that time by defending the faith from the corruption of that Assembly, and thus being opposed by Satan[40] (see exhibit A). Therefore only "Blessed is he" then had the authority to establish the second IBC, which he has done. See chapter 3:7 of Zechariah. My authority is God given, for my Mandate is from God through my fulfillment of prophecy.

Shoghi had the authority to establish the first IBC, as 'Abdu'l-Baha in his W&T had conferred infallibility on Shoghi Effendi. With the passing of Shoghi Effendi the "Hands" didn't have the authority to do away with anything or to establish anything. The guardian cannot set up the body of the second UHJ, as he is the head and the head cannot create the body, as it is in utero, the head does not create the body and the body does not create head. By my mandate from God by my fulfilling prophecy, I alone have the authority to set up the second IBC, because I am prophesied in scriptures as Baha'u'llah's establisher.

This is the greatest event of the twentieth century ranking next to the Advent of the three central figures of the Bab, Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'l-Baha, and the IBC/UHJ. This prophesied person of "Blessed is he" is the most prophesied person of history. He is "the land" that the ancient root, Baha'u'llah, is planted in.[41] Without Baha'u'llah's establisher His "World Order" would have come to an end by the Covenant-breaking "Hands". This establisher is Ha eretz--"The land"--in which the Cabala tree is planted, which is "the land" in which the tree of life is rooted. (see exhibits B&C). He is "the land" prophesied in Zechariah 3:9. He is "the land" of Rev. 10:2, etc. He also has many prophesied titles--diadems:

Then I saw heaven [of prophecy] opened, and behold, a white horse [pure religion]! He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems [titles]; and he has a name inscribed which no one knows but himself [his name--the land]. He is clad in a robe [Baha'u'llah's Revelation] dipped in blood [martyrs], and the name by which he called is the Word of God [Jesus, on his return][42].

41 The Covenant-breaking of the Hands uprooted the Dispensation of Baha'u'llah from the soil of the believers, eventually only one person remained, "the land", who still had the spirit of the Faith planted in the soil of his heart. Through this person the Dispensation of Baha'u'llah has again taken root.

explanations and commentaries] with which to smite the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron [his authority to reestablish what the Covenantbreakers threw out); he will tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed [Baha'u'llah], King of kings and Lord of lords.

The king of which this "Knight of Baha'u'llah"[43] is establishing is Baha'u'llah. Every knight has on his banner and on his robe the name of the king of whom he is championing. One of the titles that 'Abdu'l-Baha speaks of in reference to him is the 7th angel. First 'Abdu'l-Baha explains that the fifth angel, Ali, promoted and explained:

The Law and teachings of Muhammad, and explanations and commentaries of 'Ali, are a heavenly Bounty....meaning that the prophethood of Muhammad was the same as that of Moses, and the power of Ali was the same as that of Joshua.... [like the sixth angel of Quddus] and the spiritual bounties were again renewed by the appearance of the Bab and the devotion of Janabi Quddus.[44]

In the same way the 7th angel explains and establishes the "Kingdom" after the "Hands" threw it out and also reestablishes the House of Justice after Mason threw it out:

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying. The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and His Christ [Baha'u'llah]; and He shall reign for ever and ever.[45]

The seventh angel is a man qualified with heavenly attributes, who will arise with heavenly qualities and character. Voices will be raised, so that the appearance of the Divine Manifestation will be proclaimed and diffused...in that day of God, the spiritual and Divine Kingdom will beestablished...[46]

This "Blessed is he" person is also the return of Jesus the sacrificial Lamb, as the Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes.[47] He is also the Lamb standing on MT Carmel "with his name [the land] and his father's name [Baha'u'llah] written on their foreheads [known through the intellect]:

Then I looked, and lo, on Mt Zion 48 stood the Lamb, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father's name

It is quite evident that someone must have come, being "Blessed is he, in Ridvan 1963, who fulfills the above prophecies. Doesn't it disturb you, even-just a little bit, that you are not acquainted with this person?????

Who is this person? Certainly someone is. There are people that make claims--"I'm this, or I'm that"--but Esselmont tells us to be wary of people making claims--such as the claims of the "Hands" and the monster they created. We must not be gullible and believe in or accept a person or persons because they have assumed authority and because everyone else followed them, which might include family or friends. We are not to follow someone because of his looks, or anything else irrelevant. The Baha'is went astray and followed the "Hands" because the mass of the Baha'is were worshippers of personalities rather than going by the Divine Writings. They saw the glitter of the "Hands" who were nonauthoritative and who were worshippers of self, and thus they ignored the Divine writings. They saw the shining of the pyrite (fools' gold) and turned away from the Divine writings which was the pure gold. They failed to use the acid test for gold, that is, to see if what the "Hands" had invented was in conformity with the Divine writings. Thus they were fools stuck with the pyrite, which was a very bad imitation of the Divine Kingdom.

In our independent search after truth we must be guided by the Holy Scriptures including the Baha'i Writings that come from infallible persons such as Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Baha'u'llah, 'Abdul-Baha and Shoghi Effendi. If any one of them were still alive we could turn directly to them:

But now, as that Light of Reality has set, all are in need of proofs[50]....Accordingly to-day, at table, we will refer to the explanation of traditional proofs which are in the Holy Books. Until now, all that we have spoken of are logical proofs.

The state in which one should be to seriously search for the truth is the condition of the thirsty burning soul desiring the water of life, of the fish struggling to reach the sea, of the sufferer seeking for the true doctor to obtain the divine cure, of the lost caravan endeavoring to find the right road, of the lost and wandering ship striving to reach the shore of salvation.

Also, the seeker must be endowed with certain qualities. First of all he must be just, and severed from all else save God; his heart must be entirely turned to the supreme horizon; he must be free from bondage of vices and passions, for all these are obstacles; furthermore, he must be able to endure all hardships [such as rejection by Baha'i friends]; he must be absolutely pure and sanctified, and free from love or the hatred of the inhabitants of the world. Why? because the fact of his love for any person or thing might prevent him from recognizing the truth of another, and in the same way, hatred of anything might be a hindrance in discerning truth. This is the condition of seeking; and the seeker must have these qualities and attributes. Until he reaches this condition, it is not possible for him to attain to the Sun

of Reality.[51]

Let us now return to our subject.

All the people of the world are awaiting for two: the Manifestation of Baha'u'llah that came in 1863, and His establisher that came 100 years later, in 1963, who is "Blessed is he":

In the Hindu faith Baha'u'llah is prophesied to come as the reincarnation of Krishna[52] and the ninth Avatar, as the Kabala tree (the tree of life) with nine Manifestations with Baha'u'llah being the ninth and the root. I am prophesied to come as the tenth Avatar, the Ha Eretz (the land in which the root is planted) or the Avatar Kalki, literally meaning the knight on the white horse with a flaming sword who appears at the end of the age with his drawn sword blazing like a comet for the final destruction of the wicked, the renewal of creation, the restoration of purity.

In the Zoroastrian faith Baha'u'llah comes as the Shah Bahram (King of Glory) and I His establisher as the Saoshyant. This Saoshyant arrives at "Frashokereti, the end of the present state of the world, when existence will be 'rehabilitated' and 'made splendid'." I fulfill the prophecies of the last Saoshyant, called Astvatereta who is foretold to "appear in the third and final millennium." Zoroaster said he was the middle of this cycle and he came at 1000 B.C. As the Saoshyant comes in the third and final millennium after Zoroaster, this brings us to today--1000 B.C. + 2000 brings us to 2000 A.D. As Avstvatereta "he who embodies truth," I am prophesied to come "at that time (when) the dead will be resurrected" which is now when I am bringing them out of the deadly lies of the corrupt clergy and the Covenant-breaking Baha'is. The Zoroastrian prophecies also say I will be "brandishing the weapon with which he kills the powerful enemies of the world of truth.... He and his comrades will engage in a great battle with the forces of evil, which will be destroyed." This is me fighting the forces of evil that did away with the Baha'i faith and replaced it with a religion of their own making; and I am against "The Beast" (the United Nations)[53] that now rules the world, that supported the "World Order" of Bush; which is the same as the World Orders of Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon and Hitler. By supporting Bush, it brought about the Saddam-Bush debacle, which will result in releasing the four winds of destruction that were being held back by the four angels that are bound at the River Euphrates. "So the four angels were released, who had been held ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of mankind."[54] In the place of the Beast I establish the "World Order of

Baha'u'llah" (the Kingdom of God on earth)[55]

In the Buddhist faith Baha'u'llah comes as the Fifth Buddha and His establisher as the Maitreya. Baha'u'llah is foretold as the fifth Buddha called Amitabha. He is the fifth because he is the fifth Manifestation after Buddha. 1) Buddha, 2) Jesus Christ, 3) Mohammed, 4) the Bab and 5) Baha'u'llah. Arabic has its roots in Sanskrit and "baha" and "abha" mean the same thing in these languages, I "splendor, light and glory." The word Amitabha means "infinite light" in Sanskrit.[56] Baha'u'llah is described this way: "Amitabha is particularly important, not as a savior figure, but as one of the five primordial, self-born Dhyani Buddhas [Manifestations]...his color is red,...(and) his sacred symbol ba' or ah"'.[57] Amitabha/Baha'u'llah is "self-born," meaning a completely independent Manifestation. Baha'u'llah wears the red robe, which is the name of his Revelation and the color of an actual robe made for him by his wife and daughter in Baghdad. The fifth Buddha Amitabha is the Manifestation who comes at the end time but it is the Maitreya who establishes the message of Amitabha after Him.

The Maitreya is a bodhisattva, which means "enlightenment being" and not a Dhyani Buddha or a Tathagata Buddha, which are Manifestations. The bodhisattvas are dependent upon the Buddhas or Manifestations and the Maitreya is the bodhisattva who comes at the end days to establish the teachings of the Amitabha Buddha. "The notion of Maitriya...is found within the traditions of all Buddhists..."[58] It is the "Maitreya, whose coming would mark the fulfillment of Buddha's law as well as the establishment of universal peace and concord."[59] This is me establishing the Revelation of the 5th Buddha, Baha'u'llah. These actions clearly show that I am the Maitreya whose "arrival would represent essentially a final dispensation...[as] an eschatological cosmic savior who, at the end of the empirical world order, will establish a utopian state of justice, peace, and truth."[60]

The name Maitreya has "the etymological connection with the word for 'love', which is Metta in Pali."[61] This connection with the word love also connects the Maitreya with the return of Jesus, whose attribute was love.

__________________

The Maitreya was prophesied to come in the "pure land, or western paradise"[62] that would in the future be ruled by Amitabha. Maitreya is to come down from heaven into this western pure land, just as Jesus was foretold to be in America, the west, and come out of the sky (heaven). Incredibly the Maitreya was prophesied to come in a very special place called Deer Park. "Deer Park, which is believed to be the place where the Buddha prophesied the messianic role of Maitreya"[63] The first Buddha gave his first sermons in this place called Deer Park but the future Maitreya is not supposed to come in the east but to a distinctly different place in the far west. This Deer Park is Deer Lodge where I made my proclamation. Deer Lodge is in the "big sky" of Montana (Montana is called the big sky state), in the western part of the United States which is part of the western world.

In the various Buddhist writings the Maitreya is the "controller of the heavens during the third age, which is symbolized by the color white. He sits on his throne, a nine-petaled lotus blossom..."[64] I control the heavens, so to speak, because I explain to the whole world the coming of the "new heaven" (Baha'u'llah's revelation), which was all but destroyed by the Covenant-breakers, and "the new earth" (the world purified by the four winds and the new Kingdom of God on earth) as well as explaining the prophecies of all the world's religions. My color here is white because I establish the Kingdom, making everything new and pure. I sit on a nine petaled lotus flower because my authority to do these things is seated in the writings of Baha'u'llah, whose number is nine.

The Maitreya has a very specific job. In order to establish a just civilization he is to "preside over the Dragon Flower Assembly and bring about a new era."[65] This is intrinsically connected with the idea of the Maitreya as the Cakravartin that comes from the "Sanskrit cakra 'wheel' and 'vartin' one who turns'."[66] This wheel is like the wheel described in the first chapter of the book of Ezekiel. The wheel represents the "World Order of Baha'u'llah" with "the axis round which its institutions revolve are the authentic provisions of the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha."[67] Thus the hub is the Will and Testament (the Charter of the WOB) and the spokes are its inseparable institutions of the UHJ and the Guardianship. The Cakravartin is the one who turns the wheel, which is me as I have followed the plan of Shoghi Effendi and set up the Second International Baha'i Council, the embryonic UHJ. I have gotten the plan of God turning again after it was halted by Covenant-breaking and corruption. This wheel is the "Dragon Flower Assembly" with

the guardian as its head that I get rolling. The year of the Dragon is described as a time "when great changes would take place."[68] The year 2000 is the next year of the Dragon when the Kingdom of God will be firmly established on the earth and the "dragon flower assembly" will have blossomed into maturity as the UHJ. This date corresponds with the Jewish, Zoroastrian, Christian and Islamic prophecies as well.

As the Cakravartin, I am described as "knowing this wheel to be a call to unify all peoples, the king leads his armies out in all directions to the farthest horizons, all the way to the universal ring of mountains (cakravala) that lie beyond the oceans and that mark the final edge of the concentric world." The Rocky Mountains of the United States fulfill this because they are the range of mountains farthest west from the Orient, and would seem like the edge of the world. He is "borne upon the atmosphere by flying white elephants and horses, he ends all strife and suffering as he brings all people everywhere under his virtuous rule."[69] Here the Cakravartin is depicted with a white horse showing yet another parallel between the Buddhist prophecies for me and the Kalki (white horse of Hinduism) and of Christian writings of the return of Jesus in the Book of Revelations.

In the Islamic faith the Bab and Baha'u'llah fulfill the prophecies of the Madhi and the Messiah for the Sunnis. The Bab is prophesied as the return of the 12th Imam and as the Qa'im, and Baha'u'llah as the Messiah for the Shiites. The establisher comes as the return of Jesus. The Muslims believe there will not be another prophet after Muhammad because he said he was the seal of the prophets. They accept the return of Jesus, however, because they believe that he will be the same person as Jesus of Nazareth, not the coming of another person fulfilling the prophecies of the return of Jesus. As I fulfil the prophecies for the return of Jesus they miss me.

Because they do not pay close enough attention to what the Qur'an says and too close attention to what the mullahs say, the Muslims miss me. In the Qur'an they are told to obey the books of Moses and Jesus where I am clearly prophesied, but the clergy tells them these books are corrupt and so they are veiled from the truth: "Say: 'We believe in God, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam).'" 3:84[70]

I am specifically and undeniably prophesied to come at the Day of Judgment, and no Muslim can refute the clarity with which this is spoken of in the Quran. "And (Jesus) shall be a sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgement): Therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a straight way." 43:61 The footnote for this states: "This is understood to refer to the second coming of Jesus in the Last Days just before the Resurrection, when he will destroy the false doctrines that pass under his name, and prepare the way for the universal acceptance of Islam, the Gospel of Unity and Peace, the

Straight Way of the Qur'an."

Again I am foretold--"And there is none of the People of the Book [the Muslims] but must believe in him before his death; And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness against them." 4:159 The footnotes clearly name the "he" as Jesus and go on to speculate about his death and return. So here Muhammad tells the Muslims they must believe in me and he foretells that they will be duped by their clergy and I will therefore be "a witness against them."

In the sura called Ya-Sin a parable is set forth by Muhammad telling the Islamic people of three apostles or prophets which come to a city sent by God. When the people reject the first two' they tell the third, "Ye are only men like ourselves; and (God) Most Gracious sends no sort of revelation: Ye do nothing but lie." 36:15 Clearly this is a prophetic parable for the Islamic world of today. When the Bab and Baha'u'llah came the mullahs killed the Bab and banished Baha'u'llah, and many will reject me for the same reason: They do not think God will send another Revelation even though it is clearly foretold in their book. During the rest of this prophetic parable they reject the third, me, and then God deals with them exactly as He prophesied all through the Qur'an and all the holy books. "it was no more than a single mighty Blast, and behold! they were (like ashes) quenched and silent. Ah! alas for (My) servants! There comes not an apostle to them but they mock him! See they not how many generations before them we destroyed? Not to them will they return: But each one of them all-- will be brought before us (for judgment)." 36:29-32 God is indeed great in His clarity and in His warnings!

Briefly, Muhammad again promises that I will come at the end times. "Say: 'I know not whether the (punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with his Mysteries,--Except an apostle whom He has chosen...'"[72:25-27] I am this apostle sent down as a final blessing to the people of this world.

Lastly Muhammad again points out the ridicule with which many Muslims will approach the faith and me, and how God will deliver the catastrophes as a result of such flagrant ungratefulness:

The Unbelievers say (in ridicule): "Shall we point out to you a man that will tell you, that ye are all scattered to pieces in disintegration, that ye shall (then be raised) in a New Creation?..." See they know not what is before them and behind them, of the sky and the earth? If We wished, We could cause theearth to swallow them up, or cause a piece of the sky to fall upon them. Verily in this is a Sign for every devotee that turns to God (in repentance).[34:7,9]

In the Christian faith Baha'u'llah comes as the Son of Man in the Glory of the

Father[71] and his establisher is--"Blessed is He"--the return of the Son, Jesus the High Priest, who reigns on his own throne after he comes into his authority by being opposed by Satan in Ridvan 1963[72] and takes the sceptre out of the hand of the guardian and

possesses it until he establishes the Kingdom.[73]

Where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek [Shem].[74]

So Christ [Jesus], having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.[75]

Then comes the end, when he [Jesus] delivers the kingdom to God the Father [Baha'u'llah], after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he [Jesus] must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is [spiritual] death. "For God has put all things in subjection under his [Jesus'] feet." But when it says, "All things are put in subjection under him [the Son]," it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him. When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may be everything to every one.[76]

Thus Jesus returns, as the "Lamb standing, as though it had been slain," with seven horns and with seven eyes.[77] The only other place in the Bible that talks about the seven eyes is the third and forth chapters of Zechariah. The third chapter, verse nine' tells us the place that Jesus the High Priest is to return and the name by which you can recognize him--"the land" (Leland).

In the Protestant translations of the Bible, the third chapter of Zechariah translates the name Jesus as Joshua. The Catholic version, however, which antedates the Protestants' translation, leaves the name for Jesus as Jesus. The Protestants prefer the name Joshua because of the language of the verses that might be construed as derogatory, having the effect of belittling or tarnishing the image of Jesus. So they leave the Hebrew word Joshua in the text instead of the Greek word Jesus. By so doing people reading the text are misled to take the word "Joshua" as being someone other than Jesus on his return--such as Joshua at the time of Moses who established the twelve tribes in Palestine. For instance in the third verse Jesus wears the dirty garment, inferring that he is guilty of a crime; and in the fourth verse it states "I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee," which belies that Jesus has iniquities which are unacceptable to Christian ethics or morals. In the sixth verse an angel of the Lord protested unto Jesus. This is also unacceptable to Christian thinking, so the Protestants mislead the people by leaving the Hebrew word "Joshua" for the word "Jesus".

Joshua the son of Nun was the establisher of the Revelation of Moses. He brought the twelve tribes of Israel across the river Jordan, defeating the seven nations of Palestine and establishing the nation of Israel. This was a very great event by a very great establisher, and-the people-today sometimes equate me with Joshua the son of Nun. This is true to a certain extent, but this is just a part of my mission. Joshua the son of Nun was not a high priest. At that time the high priest was the son of Aaron. The function of the High Priest is all important. He is the only one that is allowed to enter the Holy of Holies and take the scroll out of the Ark of Covenant and explain its meanings. This is all important because at the passing of Mason the whole Baha'i world had passed out of Baha'i faith. There were no longer any believers left except "Blessed is He" and his wife who was the other knight that had passed all the tests. I have raised up an entire new contingent of believers through my explanations and commentaries, that are firm in the Covenant and are active in establishing the Kingdom. None of them were in the faith at any time during the ministry of Shoghi Effendi.

In the Adamic religion I am the return of Enoch who was taken up. Enoch gave the people of Mexico, Central America and the Hopis their religion. He gave the Hopis a stone tablet and broke a corner off and took it with him. He said he would return with the cornerstone and lead them to the guardian ofthe land. He was prophesied to return among the Aztecs as Kukulcan (the bearded warrior), the Itza as Itzumna, the Mayans as Quetzalcoatl and among the Hopis as the Bahana (the true Baha'i). He would come to Massauwa (Missoula) and would have the missing cornerstone of the Hopi tablet left by him. He would appear when the nine pointed star is seen in the Hopi sky; which Grandfather David, the leader of the Hopis saw on April 21, 1963 (the day I was first opposed by Satan[78] and I began my mission), as reported by his adopted daughter Oshana, who came to Missoula (Massauwa) looking for the Bahana. He would appear sitting under the Sequoia trees (the red wood trees of California), and this occurred during the "Harmonic convergence". The Hopis in Arizona were told in order to find the Bahana (the true Baha'i) to go to yellow stone, then to pointed rock (in Deer Lodge) and then to Massauwa (Missoula).

Enoch was the architect of the Great Pyramid of Giza with the passageways as a chronological timescale with each inch representing one solar year, signifying the dates of the Manifestations[79] and of "Blessed is He" who is prophesied as the High Priest standing in the Holy of Holies before the Ark of the Covenant in the King's chamber (the chamber of the Great King Baha'u'llah). All the one hundred red granite slabs forming the walls, with each slab representing one solar year, added to the date of the Proclamation of Baha'u'llah of April 21, 1863, who was prophesied at the entrance to the King's chamber, The slabs "give" the date for "Blessed is He" of April 21, 1963. This is the same date given by Daniel and interpreted by 'Abdu'l-Baha as April 21, 1963, or just exactly one hundred years from Baha'u'llah's proclamation in Baghdad, Iraq. The 108[80] red slabs forming the

With each of the nine ceiling beams representing one day of Ridvan with the first day being April 21, giving the ninth day of Ridvan (a Holy day)[81] of April 29, 1971, the day I made my Proclamation. As the only one that can stand in the Holy of Holies is the High Priest, this gives the date for the return of Jesus the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, as the sacrificial Lamb returned as the Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes, breaking the seven seals, proving that he is the One Promised. By standing before the Ark of the Covenant he reestablishes the Covenant of Baha'u'llah by raising up an entire new contingent of believers. This was necessary after the destruction of the Baha'i faith by the "Hands" who threw out the guardianship; and by Mason Remey who did away with the Baha'i faith on January 1, 1970, establishing his new religion of the Abba Father faith in which he or his descendants make all the decisions, being advised by his Hands called elders, in place of Baha'u'llah's Universal House of Justice.

In the Revelation of Moses, or the Old Testament, I am specifically prophesied by Zechariah, especially in chapter three. In verse one Jesus is standing before the angel of the Lord and Satan (Rex King) is standing at his right hand to oppose him. In verse two the Lord (via the guardian) rebukes Satan (Rex King). In verse three Jesus wears the dirty garment (the charge I was sent to prison on, and in prison jargon this charge is called "the dirty jacket." In verse four those that stand before me, those that concocted the case against me, are to take away my dirty garments and God removes the smear that was set upon me by my enemies, and I receive a change of raiment. In verse five I receive the headdress of the High Priest and am given the complete Knowledge of the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, or that of Jesus on his return, being the Son returned to establish his Father's (Baha'u'llah's) Kingdom. In verses six and seven God is telling me to keep his charge i.e., to reestablish Baha'u'llah's Covenant and 'Abdu'l-Baha's Will and Testament that was violated and thrown out of the faith by the "Hands" and the two gargoyle guardians. I will judge the House of Justice that was corrupted by the "Hands" and eliminated by Mason and I will also keep the courts that were set up by Shoghi Effendi, i.e., the International Baha'i Council (that was aborted by the "'Hands" in 1959) that was to become a world court but was by-passed by the "Hands" and in its place they established a corrupted form of the UHJ, sans guardian. I have now formed the Second International Baha'i Council naming my Apostles as members, which is one of the functions of Jesus on his return. This council will become the International Tribunal (world court) when the four beast nations become the four living creatures, then its body will be elected. By the end of this century when all the peoples of the earth become Bahais, it will then blossom into the Universal House of Justice with the guardian as its president. Thus, in verse eight He (God) tells Jesus and those that sit before him that He will bring forth the guardianship. In verse nine the stone that is laid before Jesus has seven eyes, or watchtowers, which is the prison and Ezekiel's Temple, the prophesied place for the return of Jesus. God will remove the conviction of Leland (the land), the prophesied name of Jesus on his return in one day the day of the great retribution. The day that Jesus separates the sheep from the goats, bringing the sheep into the Kingdom and the goats on his left hand, he says: "Then shall he

other holy person is able to explain its symbolism)," not knowing it is connected to the Great Pyramid and its prophecy for the advent of the promised one, that alone stands in the Holy of Holies (the presence of God) as the High Priest. Thus, the only one that is to be able to explain its meaning is the Promised One that fulfills the prophecy of the 108.

81 Nobody knew why Baha'u'llah designated April 29 as a Holy day until now.

say also unto them on the left hand Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."[82] This "day" of the great and terrible day of the Lord, has now come. The four winds of destruction that were held back by four angels at the river Euphrates,[83] Baghdad, Iraq, will now take place. In verse ten, this day will be the day of the Kingdom: "sayeth the Lord of Host shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree."

Zechariah gave the address for my appearance: In chapter six verse one the four chariots that are the four spirits of God who go forth to the entire earth come out from two mountains of brass or copper. One of the largest mountains of copper is Butte, Montana; and Lincoln, Montana, also has copper although it hasn't been tapped into yet, it is estimated to have more copper than Butte. Both are in the Big Sky Country, and the prison (Ezekiel's Temple), the "stone with seven eyes," is in between these two mountains. Zechariah also gives my name, Leland (the land) for the name of Jesus on his return, as the iniquity of Jesus and the iniquity of the land is the same iniquity (the injustice inflicted upon them), as found in chapter three, verses three and nine. Zechariah also in verse seven gives as part of my mission is that I am to have charge of the courts (IBC) and I will rule His House, with authority to guide the four steps of the IBC to becoming a UHJ.

In I Corinthians 15:24-28 1 destroy every rule and every authority and power. I reign until God puts all my enemies under my feet, "For God has put all things in subjection under my feet." When all things have become subjected unto me then I "the Son" will become subjected to Him who put all things under me.

Assertions are not enough, anyone can say they are "this or that" but that doesn't mean it is so. 'Abdu'l-Baha said proofs are essential, so he proceeded to give the proofs for Jesus Christ by giving the 'dates for John the Baptist, Jesus' proclamation and for his crucifixion.[84] Then Abdu'l-Baha said:

Now that the manifestation of Christ has been proved by the prophecies of Daniel, let us prove the Manifestation of Bahau'llah and of the Bab. Up to the present we have only mentioned logical proofs; now we shall speak of traditional proofs.[85]

But in order to establish Christianity the apostle Matthew went even further, by giving the name (as prophesied by Isaiah 7:13,14):

All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Immanuel" (which means, God with us). When Joseph woke from sleep,... he called his name Jesus.[86]

86 Matt. 1:22-25.

Jesus is not the Greek for the Hebrew name Immanuel. Jesus is the Greek word for the Hebrew word Joshua. Remember, Joshua and Jesus are interchangeable in Zechariah, chapter three. Jesus (or Joshua) means God saves. It comes from the name Jehoshua, which is a contraction of the words Jehovah and Yasha. Jehovah means God (the one true God of Israel) and the primary meaning of Yasha is to deliver.

Immanuel means God with us. It is the conjunction of im, which means "with or accompanying", and El, which is the generic term for God, The name Immanuel "symbolizing the presence of God to deliver his people."[87]

Therefore, symbolically Immanuel has the same meaning as Joshua--Joshua means God delivers or saves, and Immanuel means God with us. Thus Jesus was prophesied by name. The same thing with Baha'u'llah, who was prophesied throughout the Bible by the name of "Baha'u'llah"' but the translators translated the meaning of the name into English as the "Glory of God," or the Glory of the Lord.

Jesus was also prophesied by address--where to find him--by the prophet Micah 5:2:

But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah who are little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be a ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient of days [David].

Matthew shows that this was fulfilled in Jesus, by being born in Bethlehem:

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men [Magi, Zoroastrian priests] from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is he who has been bornking of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him"[88]

And he [Joseph, with Mary and Jesus) went and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, "He shall be called a Nazarene."[89]

In the same way Baha'u'llah was prophesied to come from the East--Tehran, Iran--to Mt Carmel[90]

The prophesied Mission of Jesus was to die and save people from their sins. He was also the herald of the Kingdom of David to the Gentiles who were to inherit the Kingdom of David, when Shiloh comes: "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a law-giver from between his feet [reproductive organs], until Shiloh come; and unto him ["Blessed is He"]

90 Ezekiel 43:2 and Isaiah 35:2.

shall the gathering of the people be."[91] This took place with 'Abdu'l-Baha adopting a Gentile, Mason Remey, and Shoghi Effendi appointing him the president (guardian) of the IBC/UHJ, and now Shiloh, "Blessed is He", is regathering[92] the twelve tribes of Israel under their new name Baha'i, after they were dispersed from the faith for Covenant-breaking:

For Zion's [David's lineage] sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's [the law of God] sake I will not rest, until her [Baha'u'llah's Revelation] vindication goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch [burning meteor[93]]. The nations shall see your vindication and all the kings your Glory [Baha]; and you shall be called by a new name which the mouth of the Lord [Baha'u'llah] will give.[94]

As Jesus and Baha'u'llah were both prophesied by name, address, date and mission so is "Blessed is he". This formula is put forth by God as the golden criteria for it is infallible for the recognition of His Promised ones. It is like the calling, or business card, that has the four ingredients of name, address, date and business. * John Brown, * 410 Main St. Joplin, MO, USA, * time, hours and days, etc., * business, attorney at law. For instance there could be no person in this world but Jesus Christ that came in the name of Jesus, that came from Nazareth and was born in Bethlehem, that had a forerunner by the name of John the Baptist who started his mission in March, 27 A.D., and Baptized Jesus in September, 30 A.D., who was crucified when he was 33 years of age in 34 A.D. according to Daniel's prophecy as explained by 'Abdu'l-Baha. As that date is passed, nobody else could possibly be the first Messiah.

In like manner, as Ridvan, 1963 has passed and I began my mission, being opposed by Satan, Rex King, whom Mason designated as Satan of this era (see exhibit A). I came from the designated place and came in the designated name, no one else in this whole wide world, then, or in the past or future could possibly be "Blessed is He" of Daniel 12:12.

By being opposed by Satan I fulfil the prophecy of for the return of Jesus in Zechariah 3:1,2. The filthy garments of verse 3 that Jesus wore were the false charges that my enemies conjured up against me and they, having the political power and savvy along with the corrupt courts, lawyers and legal system, had me, a non-political Baha'i, convicted and imprisoned. Because of this, the angel is saying to those who stood before me (the legal system) in verses 4 & 5 to "Take away the filthy charges and the angel said that he had caused the iniquities to pass from me and he will clothe me with a change of raiment--one befitting a high priest. And the angel said, "Let them set a fair mitre upon his head" [crown of authority"[95]], and clothed him with garments [the outward or physical means to accomplish my mission. In verse 7 I will judge His House (the House of Israel under its

new name Baha'i) and keep His courts. I have already began that, for I have set up the second IBC. In verse 8 the angel brings forth the servant the BRANCH, that is reestablish the Davidic line (Aghsan guardians) that the Covenant- breakers on Mt. Carmel threw out. In verse 9 it gives the address for my appearance at "the stone with seven eyes"-which is the stone wall with seven watch towers surrounding the prison in Deer Lodge, MT. No matter which way I turned I had that "stone with seven eyes" before me. It was in there that I taught over a thousand prisoners. At one time I had a third of the inmates as believers. And it states that the Lord of Hosts (Baha'u'llah) will remove the iniquity of that land (some other versions say "the land") which is my name "Leland", which is a french name, as I was named after a Frenchman. "Le" is the French article for the English article "the". Verse ten explains that this is to happen at the end of the age.

Deer Lodge, Montana is situated between the two mountains--in Butte and Lincoln--that have the largest deposits of Copper in the world.[96] In Zechariah 6:1, four chariots go out from between these two mountains. This is very important for it shows that the four chariots that put the world at rest (verses 2-8) are the teachings of Jesus the High Priest that returned in that prison and sends out teachers to the world. One of them explained the Great Pyramid and is now on the second IBC. More important, it definitely establishes the address for the Advent of "Blessed is He".

It may be difficult and perplexing for some people to accept one who makes the claim to be the return of Jesus the High Priest by giving forth his proofs that he fulfilled prophecy by being in prison, and especially on a charge that is called a dirty garment. But the script says that the garment was dirty, not that Jesus himself was dirty. The dirty garment represents the outward conception of the people--like always--at the advent of a Promised One, whereas the Promised One himself is free from the dirt of the garment. Once the people can see that I am indeed the Promised One, for if I didn't wear the dirty garment I definitely could not be the return of Jesus, for that is the distinguishing sign and proof that set him apart from other Promised Ones.

In verses 3 & 4 (KJV): "Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel....Behold, I have caused thine iniquity [injustice] to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment." And in verse 9 "....I will remove the iniquity of that [the] land in one day." One of the meanings of the word "iniquity"[97] is injustice, which was the very act that put me in prison. The injustice perpetrated on Joshua (Jesus), and the injustice perpetrated on the land was the same injustice--showing that Jesus and the land is the same person. The wicked justice system that is manipulated and controlled by evil men that had "the-land" (Leland)--Jesus on his second coming--incarcerated; this same kind of wicked system had Jesus on his first coming nailed to the cross, the Bab shot by 750 rifles and Baha'u'llah put in the dungeon, then exiled and later put in the most great prison.

The main mission of Baha'u'llah is to bring justice in this world. The world has never had Justice before. Therefore God had Him experience injustice and for me, who is the establisher of His mission to also experience injustice, so the we could know and understand the need for justice. Baha'u'llah's "House of Justice" was delineated (explained) by 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi laid it out. But the Covenant-breaking

"hands" did away With the King (President, or head), leaving a headless monster created by them as a replacement of theWill of God, and Mason did away with the body. God has sent me with these proofs to give me authority and credibility, for credibility is the criteria for believability; which is an absolute essential to reestablish what Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi brought forth. I have not put forth these proofs to establish myself, but to show my authority to reestablish what was destroyed by the evil and powerful Covenant- Breakers on Mt. Carmel, and by Mason Remey.

Also it may be distasteful, perplexing and confusing to expect the return of Jesus to be in a prison. The Christians' pious mythology have the return of Jesus to descend out of the sky. But Jesus in the 25th chapter of Matthew tells us that in prison is exactly where lie will be:

....for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, sick and inprison and you did not visit me.[98]

The Lamb does not sit upon the throne of David, which is an inherited post. I am not a Manifestation of God, nor am I a descendant of David, but a descendant of the king of Danmark of the tribe of Dan. The Lamb functions in the temple. This is Ezekiel's temple that has seven towers, or eyes, that was completed in 1912, the date given by 'Abdu'l-Baha, in Deer Lodge between two mountains of brass or copper. I entered that temple on the prescribed date of the Morrisites of August 9, 1969[99]. That temple is also a prison, fulfilling the prophecy of Matthew 25 that both Christ, and Jesus on his return, would be in prison.

A picture of Herod's temple with six towers--the Jewish Temple at the time of Jesus and a picture of the prison that I was in, are exactly alike, except that the prison at Deer Lodge has one more tower (copy is enclosed) making it Ezekiel's temple with seven towers, or eyes. (See exhibit E)

The Christians, due to the indoctrination of the church, are looking toward the sky for the return of Jesus, but Jesus specifically stated that he would be in prison on his return.[100] He said that he would be hungry, naked, sick, a stranger and in prison.[101] * When I entered that prison I was hungry. I had been living on natural food, mainly raw fruits and vegetables, eating no red meats. The food that they gave me to eat was terrible, never a salad nor was there ever any raw fruit. The only vegetable that they served was potatoes. Their menu consisted mainly of beef, pork, potatoes, gravy, white bread, eggs, coffee and sometimes milk, never any poultry or fish except on Thanksgiving when they served turkey. * I was naked! They took everything away from me, including my Baha'i ring, my watch, my clothes, my wallet, leaving me nothing. * I was sick! They sent

99 The Morrisites gathered for over one hundred years at a certain site on August the 9th, the day set for the return of Jesus. The last time that they met was on August the 9th of 1969, the first full day that I spent in the temple and in prison.

101. Ibid v. 35,36

me down to Galen (the States pulmonary Hospital) for about a week. They gave me a thorough examination including lab and x-rays. They sent a thorough report to the prison stating that I was so sick that I didn't have to work. * I was a stranger! The Christians and the Muslims were waiting for mythical Jesus to descend down out of the visible sky, so when I the real Jesus, the one prophesied to come in prison and in Ezekiel's temple came, I was a stranger to them and the entire world.

Baha'u'llah also came in prison and fulfilled the prophecy for the return of Christ, the King seated on the throne of David. His prison, however, didn't have any towers, or eyes, and it was not located between two mountains of copper, and thus Baha'u'llah did not fulfill the prophecy for the return of Jesus, the High Priest, the Son who returned in prison to establish his Father's (Baha'u'llah's) Kingdom. The difference was that Baha'u'llah was the Christ, the Promised King seated on the throne of David, and Jesus was the High Priest who returned in the temple, for only a priest can serve in the temple. The advent of Baha'u'llah and of "Blessed is He" fulfill the prophecies for the return of Christ and Jesus, or "Jesus Christ".

The prophet Adam was called Zedek who commenced the Adamic cycle of 6000 years. Two thousand years later, Shem, the beloved son of Noah, was Melchizedek, who was both king and priest. He was called this because he was the greatest supporter of Zedek and his religion against the enlarged forces of Nimrod (Satan). However, the kingship and high priest Mre separated at the time when David was the king, and Zadek was the High Priest[102]. Two thousand years after Melchizedek, however, the kingship and the high priest were united again in Jesus, who was both king and High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek (Shem)[103].

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner shrine behind the curtain [Holy of Holies], where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.[104]

Two thousand years later with the advent of Baha'u'llah, the King and the High Priest were again separated. This is because Baha'u'llah is the Messiah seated on the throne of David, and David's Kingship is separate from that of the high priest, like in the days of David and Zadok. Thus Jesus the High Priest is the Son returned to reestablish his Father's Kingdom, for only the high priest can go into the inner shrine behind the curtain (Holy of Holies) in the temple and explain the hidden meanings of the Baha'i Revelation, such as the genealogy of Baha'u'llah.

This temple was the Promised established Ezekiel's temple that has seven towers (eyes). The Morrisites were to build a temple for the return of Jesus. When John the Baptist came he baptized and lectured the people to purify themselves and be ready for the one that was come after him. The Bab had three forerunners: Shaykh Ahmad, Siyyid Kazim and Mulla Husayn. Of the followers of Siyyid Kazim 18 became the disciples of the Bab, called the

letters of the living. These defended and spread the teachings of the Bab to such an extent that ten thousand Babis became Martyrs. Their purpose was to prepare the way for "Him Whom God shall make manifest" (Baha'u'llah). In the same way God prepared thousands to go to Deerlodge, Montana, to await the return of Jesus in the temple.

The Morrisites--a contingent of believers that broke away from the Mormon faith because of the corruption of Brigham Young who was the leader and head of the Mormon faith--were instructed by the prophet George Williams to leave the Utah area and settle the Deerlodge valley and to build a temple with rocks from the surrounding mountains, as Jesus on his return is to return in his temple.

The following are from some writings of Neal Chase:

"Joseph Morris was murdered by the Sheriff Burton by the order of Brigham Young." "With the death of their leader the Morrisites were shattered yet expectant because the last instructions from their leader had declared that after this great conflict with the enemy (Brigham Young and his followers) the second coming of Jesus Christ would appear to them and they would receive the gospel of the Kingdom. According to C. LeRoy Anderson--a professor at the University of Montana, and a recent writer on the Morrisites--Morris's last instructions given in the form of prophecy six months before the events transpired were "remarkable"! Anderson writes:

Regardless of how one might view the general prophetic abilities of Joseph Morris, the substance of this revelation [his last instructions] isremarkable. It provides almost a flawless scenario of the actual confrontation between the Morrisites and the law [of Brigham Young) that occurred six months later.[105]

"Thus it was in the spring of 1863, corresponding exactly to the time of Baha'u'llah's proclamation in the Garden of Ridvan on April 21, 1863, that George Williams, following the direction of God, proclaimed himself to the Morrisite community, declaring that Deer Lodge Valley, Montana, was the place where their Lord, the return of Jesus, would be, and that Deer Lodge was the sacred spot foreordained in all the books of God to be the site for the Heavenly City, the 'City of the Great King' which is described in the Book of Revelation and the Bible as 'New Jerusalem.'

"At once with joyful hearts and renewed vigor the seemingly beaten band of Morrisites, were now set aglow with a new zeal! For they had been saved and redeemed just as Morris had promised they would be after the great Morrisite War of 1862! Now with the true vision of the seer Williams, they triumphantly gathered their scant material possessions and moved to the Deer Lodge Valley, for them, the home of the Promised Land! Some moved directly to Deer Lodge while others moved to Soda Springs, Idaho and Council Bluffs, Iowa, later to join the rest of them in Deer Lodge.

"The Morrisite people became the pioneers of Deer Lodge, the first farmers and land owners, their sole purpose to build up that city and prepare the way for the construction of the Temple of God in which Jesus is prophesied to suddenly return.

105 Anderson, p. 92.

"George Williams himself, however, was never a Morrisite[106] and always remained a Mormon. It was the Morrisites who listened to his prophecies and followed his instructions to move to Deer Lodge. Williams himself never went to Deer Lodge but remained in Utah in Salt Lake City where he was a farmer. He used to have his mail sent to a friend's house because Brigham Young and his followers were constantly looking for him. When they had Morris killed they thought that they had heard the last of the Morrisites. But in the spring of 1863 they were going around proclaiming that Brigham Young had it all wrong and that the return of Jesus would be in Deer Lodge.

"Williams never set himself up as leader of the Morrisites but appointed other people to the position. He had no intention of becoming some big muckity-muck because he wasn't power hungry and he wasn't greedy. Williams was pure of heart and only wanted the truth of his vision preserved in Deer Lodge until the appearance of Jesus 11. Eventually, because of the Brighamites pursuit of him, he moved from Utah back to England where he was originally from, for safety. The Morrisites continued in Deer Lodge all the way up until the 1950's and 1960's where their last official leader, George Johnson, died in 1954. Right up until the end of his life George Johnson never wavered from the prophecy of Williams that the second coming (Jesus 11) would be in Deer Lodge, Montana. With a strong Faith and absolute certainty he taught this fact to his children and to his grandchildren. Today it is the children of the Morrisites who reap the benefits of their parents as this prophecy is fulfilled in the Deer Lodge Temple of the Old Montana Prison.

"Upon entering the Deer Lodge Valley, as the Morrisite wagons passed over the hump on the southern side near Butte, they came to the top and could see the Deer Lodge Valley spreading out five to 10 miles wide and 60 miles long before them. Their first words were, 'We've entered paradise!'

"Today two thirds of the population of the Deer Lodge Valley are descendants of the Morrisite peoples. They are either direct descendants of the Morrisites or have married into those families who are direct descendants of the original Morrisite pioneers. The original Morrisite settlers of the Deer Lodge Valley had big families with lots of children, some up to 10 in number! What could possibly make all the Morrisite people happier than knowing that the prophecies that their folks lived by and prayed for are now coming true, just as Williams revealed.

"George Williams instructed the Morrisites to build a stone temple from the rocks from the mountains surrounding the Deerlodge Valley, something that they never did, but built a wooden structure for their meeting House. The State of Montana built it for them, when they built the Montana State Prison, which was a replica of Ezekiel's Temple.

Its [Deer Lodge and the prison's] beauties and riches in part, are yet hidden. But your childrenwill develop more and more. For there [in Deer Lodge] will be the City of Ye Great King [centered on the Temple of the Old Montana Prison].[107]

THE PROPHECY!

In that region where you dwell [Deer Lodge, Montana], extending East, West, South and North--in this region will come down the City of the Great King [New Jerusalem, the City of Ezekiel's Temple]. Before that, many wise men shall find their way there, endowed with intelligence from the Lord to map out and make ready [build the prison] for the Lord's coming, with thousands who have toiled and suffered with him here. You are the pioneers. The climate shall be moderated by the earth's 3rd motion southward [earth's shifting crust], without interference with her diurnal and annual motion by which she will be fitted to bring forth all the choice vegetation and floral grandeur she is entitled to yield. No beast of prey may find a place there. All rank and unprofitable growth shall be banished at that day. Neighbor shall meet neighbor in perfect accord, and say--my children are numerous, and everyone sound in body and judgement--and so are mine [yours].... In those days the old men shall not weep, neither shall they depart in sorrow or pain; but angels shall bear them to their resting place. And lights shall be on every hill, and on every dwelling place as the Sun for brightness. And like birds of the air shall men move from place to place, and hold converse with one another. A pure language shall be given from their childhood by which all shall do the will of God on the sides of the North as the angels do in His presence... For the choice place of the earth is handed over to you. Its beauties and riches in part, are yet hidden [the prison is only revealed as the Temple today]. But your children will develop more and more. For there [in Deer Lodge] will be the City of the Great King.[108]

--George Williams

TWO MOUNTAINS OF BRASS!

"According to the Mormon prophecy of George Williams the sacred spot for the return of Jesus (Jesus 11) is in the Deer Lodge Valley where the Temple of God, the City of the Great King, the New Jerusalem is to be built up. In Hebrew the word for copper and brass is the same word. On either side of the Deer Lodge Valley where the prison is located in the city of Deer Lodge, on the north and on the south are the world's two largest mountains of copper: Lincoln and Butte, Montana.

AND I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

--Zechariah 6:1 (KJV).

"Butte is called the "Richest Hill on earth." In 1900 Butte produced about 1/4 of the United States' copper output and 1/7th of the world's![109] Butte is also called the city a mile high and a mile deep. It's a mile high in the Rocky Mountains and a mile deep with copper mines. Likewise, it is known that Lincoln has even more copper than Butte though it hasn't even been tapped yet.

"It is from between these two mountains of brass that the Old Montana Prison in Deer Lodge fulfills the prophecy for the seven towered temple of Ezekiel, the Temple that Jesus 11 enters through the eastern gate of tower #7, between the two pillars of Jachin and Boaz.

"From this prison in Deer Lodge between these two mountains of Brass (Lincoln and Butte), the chariots of God and His heavenly army, led by the return of Jesus (Jesus 11), will gather to be sent out into all the world proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God.

In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, what are these, my Lord? And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens that go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

--Zechariah 6:1-5

THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN

"It was not until right after the Baha'i gathering in May of 1990 celebrating the arrival of Comet Austin that any of the Baha'is found out about the prophecies of George Williams and the Morrisites who pioneered the Deer Lodge Valley for the coming of Jesus 11.

"I (Neal) had been doing research on Ezekiel's Temple in the Bible at that time and had come to Montana to give a talk on how the seven towered prison was the physical fulfillment of Ezekiel's vision. (Only Ezekiel's Temple and the-Deer Lodge -prison haveseven towers.)

"After the gathering, in June of 1990, when Comet Austin had already departed, we decided to go to Deer Lodge and measure the prison the way Ezekiel was told to measure the Temple. To our amazement in God's perfection, all the prophesied dates found in both the Bible and the Great Pyramid of Giza were also found inculcated into the stone masonry of the prison! While we were there, the tour coordinator asked us what we were doing. We told her that we were doing research on the Baha'i Faith because this prison fulfilled the Biblical prophecy for Ezekiel's Temple which Jesus is prophesied to return to, having the 'stone with seven eyes' before him. She then told us something which I nor any other Baha'i had ever heard of before. She told us that there was another group in Deer Lodge, called the Morrisites, who came out of the Mormons, that had independent prophecies that the second coming of Jesus Christ would be in Deer Lodge, Montana. We were elated and said, 'That prophecy is fulfilled right here in this prison!'

"She said that there was a book about the Morrisites that we should read. After researching that book, For Christ Will Come Tomorrow: The Saga of the Morrisites, by C. Leroy Anderson, which everyone should read and become acquainted with, we did more research and wrote up this book, Ezekiel's Temple in Montana.

"None of us, not even Dr. Leland Jensen, who fulfills the prophecy for the return of Jesus, had ever heard of the Morrisites before. His proclamation, made on April 29th, 1971 was based purely on the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy in Zechariah chapter 3 and other

places, which pinpoints the return of Jesus the High Priest (Catholic Douay version[100]) in this Old Montana State Prison which is the "stone with seven eyes" that Jesus 11 the High Priest is to have before him (Zechariah 3:9).

"Therefore, a completely independent source, not associated with the Baha'i Faith, prophesied of his coming to Deer Lodge in the prison, the seven towered Temple of Ezekiel. Like the star of Bethlehem which heralded his first coming, Comet Austin was the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven, heralding his second coming at Deer Lodge, which brought us the news of the Morrisites and the prophecy of George Williams.

THE LORD'S MESSENGER

"George Williams himself fulfills Mormon prophecy as the 'messenger of the Lord' who is to come as the forerunner to Jesus 11. In the Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 24:1' George Williams fulfills this prophecy for the "messenger of the lord" which is identical to the prophecy given by Malachi in chapter 3 of his book in the Old Testament:

Behold, I send my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his Temple; the messenger of the Covenant in whom you delight behold he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears?

--Malachi 3:1-2; 3 Nephi 24:1.

"The Lord's messenger, George Williams, prepared the way for the return of Jesus by announcing to all the world that Jesus would come suddenly to his Temple in Deer Lodge Montana, which is the Old Montana State Prison prophesied as the seven towered Temple of Ezekiel.

"Many other prophecies of George Williams have likewise come true. He foresaw the technological age with airplanes and modern inventions. He prophesied that the whole world would speak a universal language, which is one of the twelve principles of Baha'u'llah. Likewise, he prophesied the earth's shifting crust which will bring Deer Lodge down to a warm southernly climate. Both the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, Charles Mason Remey Aghsan, and Albert Einstein wrote about how the earth's surface is going to shift, bringing the United States 2000 miles south into the area of the sub-tropics.

"According to C.Leroy Anderson, there are other miscellaneous prophecies of Williams' that came true.[111] However, Anderson said that they might have been only coincidental because at the time of that writing he was unaware of the fact that Jesus II had proclaimed himself in Deer Lodge in the prison on April 29th, 1971. The main prophecy of the appearance of Jesus II the High Priest in his prison/temple with seven eyes or towers is only now for the first time being explained to all the world!" (Neal Chase).

I thank Neal for allowing me to copy some of his writings from the volumes that he has written on this subject.

I have written you this short letter, and it is very short, a short synopsis, just touching on the material that you need to know. If I had written any more I would have wearied you with this very enlightening insight in what God has purposed. I am not a Manifestation, nor have I brought a new revelation from God, nor by my explanations and commentaries have I replaced or changed anything from God. My mission and purpose is solely to replace and reestablish what the Covenant-breakers are guilty of destroying, and free the rank and file, so-called believers, held in bondage under the oppression of the monster. These then that will assist the Lamb,[112] in reestablishing the "Kingdom" that the Covenant-breakers had thrown out may achieve that very very high station of an apostle of Baha'u'llah. I will close this letter with a quote from 'Abdu'l-Baha:

O ye apostles of Baha'u'llah,--May my life be a ransom to you!

The blessed Person of the Promised One is interpreted in the Holy Book as the Lord of Hosts, i.e., the heavenly armies. By heavenly armies those souls are intended who are entirely freed from the human world, transformed into celestial spirits and have become divine angels. Such souls are the rays of the Sun of Reality who will illumine all the continents. Each one is holding in his hand a trumpet, blowing the breath of life over all the regions. They are delivered from human qualities and the defects of the world of nature, are characterized with the characteristics of God, and are attracted with the fragrances of the Merciful. Like unto the apostles of Christ, who were filled with Him, these souls also have become filled with His Holiness Baha'u'llah, i.e., the love of Baha'u'llah has so mastered every organ, part and limb of their bodies, as to leave no effect by the promptings of the human world.

These souls are the armies of God and the conquerors of the East and the West. Should one of them ["Blessed is He"] turn his face toward some direction and summon the people to the Kingdom of God, all the ideal forces and lordly confirmations will rush to his support and reinforcement. He will behold all the doors open and all the strong fortifications and impregnable castles razed to the ground. Singly and alone he will attack the armies of the world, defeat the right and left wings of the hosts of all the countries, break through the lines of the legions of all the nations and carry his attack to the very center of the powers of the earth. This is the meaning of the Hosts of God.

Any soul from among the believers of Baha'u'llah who attains to this station, will become known as the Apostle of Baha'u'llah. Therefore strive ye with heart and soul--so that ye may reach this lofty and exalted position, be established on the throne of everlasting glory, and crown your heads with the shining diadem of the Kingdom, whose brilliant jewels may irradiate upon centuries and cycles.[113]

That is they arrived at the truth by using their intellect, which is centered in the forebrain, to study the evidence put forth by Leland, the Lamb. (Revelation 14:1)
