WEDNESDAY NITE [sic] BIBLE STUDY
6-26-68     By DR. WESLEY SWIFT        [3-6-68 is probable actual date of session-dwd]


QUESTION: --- (tape) [sic, should be "ANSWER:"] Concerning the factors of Sonship -- the questions of this individual are due to the theologians explanations thru the years concerning the philosophical developments which they throw to spiritual powers that makes sons of God out of them by some mental attitude they take.

Now, with all realization that truth changes the outlook of the individual, still they have to have the capacity to receive this. If the thing they hear does not erect an image in their mind comparable to the thing which God is expressing, then the whole process is not being recorded and communicated as the spirit intends.... This is hard for some people to understand. They think the whole world has had truth given to them. This is not true. The whole program of God's Kingdom in the earth is to subdue the powers of darkness. And to again, release the people of the earth from the trouble they fell into under the Luciferian rebellion.... The program of God to transfer a Celestial household from Heaven to earth is one of the great mysteries of scripture. In fact, the Adamic race has a specific part to play in history as different and distinct from other people. But one thing is important for us to know, that the Holy seed is referred to thru out the scripture. In fact the prophets were very much concerned because one of the violations of Divine Law which has occurred is when leaders who were among those in their trespasses start to mingle the Holy seed, when they start to take sons and daughters of other races and fuse them into their society. This was a violation of Divine Law because the process by which God ordained transferring them from heaven to earth, from Celestial plains [planes] to physical plains. And they came thru the advent of the Adamic race. The fall of our race started with the violation of Divine Law.

Remember that God showed Adam all the animals on the face of the earth. Genesis starts off telling us this. That he saw all these creatures and he also saw all the enosh (and this word enosh, is sometimes beast but not meaning animals in the field, but refers to non-spirit people who walk upright), [sic, apparently an editorial explanation of the further meaning of the obscure word-dwd] people who are not offspring of the MOST HIGH GOD, and all thru the Old Testament, it refers to this. Both of these are translated [as] man. But Adam should not be translated thus for he is Hu-man having so much more [than] the other races. It seems sometimes as tho it is repetitious when we have to refer so many times to the 31st chapter of Ezekiel. But questions do force this. The 31st chapter of Ezekiel refers to the great racial streams as great waters and mighty rivers.... So it talks about the fact that the Assyrian Empire, the waters of this race were so great that they were established all over the earth, its kingdoms and empires, because of the greatness of its waters or people. The Egyptians also were great waters and they were a mighty Empire, but not as great as the Assyrian Empire. This was in the days of Eden when god placed Adam in Eden.... when Adam was placed in earth, there were millions and millions of people upon the earth. So by no stretch of the imagination or by any process, could it be conceived that Adam and Eve are the parents of all the people on the face of the earth. They were only parents of the people who were of the Living God.... [i.e., Adam and Eve were solely the "parents" of the white "race"-dwd]

.............The reason why I want this understood, is because it will answer this fixed question, probably ten of the questions coming in now -- all about Sonship, its mystery, and its relationship..... Kind begats like Kind. Therefore we well understand that nothing you decided to do or not to do made you your father's son at some later date after you were educated in grammar school or high school. This didn't make you your father's son. No. You are your father's son because he begat you. And that begatting in the spirit made you existent before the world was framed. That you have already been blessed with spiritual blessings before the world was framed also....

.....Now when we talk about Jesus being the only begotten this sometimes confuses people. (John 3) For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son --- Actually this is the only Issue -- begotten out of the race. The only Issue God sowed into the race to bring forth his own form among his kinsmen.

....."For as such as the children of God are now partakers of flesh and blood" -- in other words -- down here in bodies of flesh, then YAHWEH himself took part of the same. And then thru his death he intended to destroy the power of death, meaning the devil, and deliver them who from fear of death were all their lifetime in bondage. He did not take on himself the nature of Angels but took upon himself the likes of the seed of Abraham. In all things it was behoving of God to be made like unto his brethren. In other words since the Children of God were down here in bodies of flesh, he took upon himself a body of flesh so that he might be like his brethren or kinsmen. The Scripture says he was not ashamed to call you his kinsmen. What I think is important for you to see is that the children of God were here in flesh and blood before he came along. [apparently meaning before Jesus came along-dwd]

If I were to accept some of the areas of theologians, their interpretations then a child of God only takes place after a man accepts the fact that Jesus is the Christ.... So because you have accepted this you become a child of God, after you have heard what Jesus did. But the scripture tells me that you were down here in bodies of flesh therefore He took a body of flesh just like you had, and he did this to save you. So --- I have sons of God down here before the atonement. I have sons of god down here before He Came. I find sons here without any relationship to his conduct. You can be a good son or a bad son, a disobedient son or an honorable son, but the condition does not make you a son it only determines what kind of a son you have been. This is also true in natural as well as Celestial realms, so God has Celestial Children, and these celestial children were with him before this world was framed....

....Someone says; -- How do you know that? Well I can go to the book of Daniel ... as it tells us about these latter days when we are facing the problems of the battles against the anti-Christ when there is a time of trouble like there has never been since our nation was on the face of the earth. We are told that the hosts of darkness are going to try to overthrow God's kingdom. They are going to try to overthrow the white western world and to conquer Christian civilization. Ezekiel tells us that the hoards come out of Asia, and the book of Revelation tells us that these pagan powers come to make war against those who have the testimony of Jesus the Christ and the Commandments of god....so there is a time of trouble in the earth such as there has never been since there was a nation and we are in that time of trouble.

The other day Walter Cronkite and other men who had been traveling all over the world, as they came together from six different parts of the world for this interview they were bringing together the facts that they had. All were known reporters and a friend of mine sat to talk with them and bring back this information. They already had been briefed about what they couldn't talk about and thus only parts of it would go out over the air. So the first thing they said was --- the nations are in trouble like nothing since there was a nation, since there has been history, and things are about to explode. There never has been such a time of trouble in all human history. -- That fits right in with the signs of 'The son of man in the heavens,' and other things that we know. But it says here at this time, when apparently the white man is in great trouble, outnumbered in the world 6 to 1, then this is the measure that at this time we are not left alone. For in that time Michael the Prince shall stand up and the people will be delivered, all those whose names were written in a book.

So at that time Michael stands up like he stood before for the people of God, and what I want to point out is that Michael commanded the hosts of Heaven, and he stood and fought for you in the past and threw the Devil out of the heavens.... Because Michael stood for the kingdom of God in the heavens, and Lucifer and all his hosts out of the heavens came in great space warfare when you were Celestial children, in Celestial plains long before you were ever embodied in a physical world. [from Walter Cronkite to space warfare in only a couple of paragraphs-dwd]

And now down here in the flesh you are still being attacked by Luciferian forces, who put the world in darkness and superstition. For this purpose God put his own family, his own children here to build a kingdom in the earth, and started this posterity with Adam. He intended for the race line to remain pure, for the spiritual vision to remain pure. He has warned you that if you mongrelize the race, that you mutate the spiritual capacity, you mutate the ability to understand. There is no capacity for spirit to cohabit with that which is not spirit, in the synthesis of reality. So you can have physical mutations by mongrelization because of the similarity of men, and the processes of the physical and because of this fact of mitosis, chromotin, and genes functioning but you cannot inherit the spiritual wave length, for instance you cannot take out of the chromotin and pass on a culture to a people who have nothing in common with this inheritance. So God is very specific about the racial laws because of this. The old Testament is still with us, and the New Testament says come out of them and be separated or segregated. God has laid the facts down as to why this is to be and what it causes.

.......Now of course I recognize that one of the biggest problems in the world is Priestcraft. It is built on holding people by superstition.... I am referring to the superstitions woven in and the kind of translation bands, and the interpretations used to make people obedient to a certain area of Priestcraft or to a certain area of ecclesiastical authority by setting up a fear lest they break this link and be outside, or outcast. In other words Priestcraft has set up terrible flaming perdition, tortures, punishment and all kinds of things and then built an area which would cast doubt that anyone would have truth but their own church. Priestcraft says that if you get ex-communicated out of here you wind up in purgatory, and if you don't pay off you are never going to get into heaven. In fact we might make it a little easier on you and let you go into a state of suspended animation called limbo. If you have enough shekels or your family has enough money maybe we can push you into heaven. This is Priestcraft. And this Priestcraft wants you to be afraid. Oh, you say, that is only one church -- no it is not, it wasn't so long ago that I listened to a minister who said that if people didn't belong to this particular area of churches, and this full Gospel band, then if people do not receive what we have offered it doesn't matter whether they are Baptist, Methodist, or Catholic they are all going to hell. I want you to awaken your neighbors and tell them, I want you to realize that if you backslide from this that if you don't get right back in you are going to be destroyed.

Now he was sincere but totally wrong for he was promoting an area of Priestcraft ... promoting an area of fear lest they get out of this circle and be destroyed. But the whole thing is that God doesn't set his kingdom up on these little two bit ideas. The way you determine that theology is, or is not true, is -- does it make God bigger or littler, just remember this. Too many people have a little God, but the bigger your God is the closer you are to truth.... God gave us the divine law to make us better people, because we were sons and daughters we did not have to go thru trial and error to find the truth. He gave us his law and if we did not have any spirit we wouldn't be able to understand it. He did not give his law to the Chinese, and they didn't get a document on mount Sinai. They didn't go out to Chicken bone hill and have God come in with a fleet and give them the law. He didn't come to Mt. Kilminjaro and find a bunch of witch doctors rattling bones and say here is the law. The only people he gave the law to was Israel meaning issue ruling with him. Why? Because the others could not understand it anyhow. [but of course-dwd]

............Now, it has been generally taught in order to be correct, that preachers speak 'Cathedra' -- and whenever they speak thus, they are speaking the word of God. [presumably meaning "ex cathedra"-dwd] I can go to my library shelf and pull out the writings of St. Thomas Aquita [Aquinas] and he says that when the Pope speaks 'Cathedra', he is speaking with the word of God and he is infallible. He can express his opinions like anyone in this room and make a mistake just like anyone else. But Catholic doctrine says that when he speaks the word of God, then the word of God cannot be changed. Therefore he is infallible. -- This is 'Cathedra'.

Now, don't think [of] this as a pro or against Catholic doctrine. [of course not-dwd] But I reserve the right in Bible study to be honest. I know that a lot of Protestants run around saying the Catholics believe in the infallibility of the Pope and Priests say he can't do anything wrong. But that is only ignorant ones who do not know any better. I don't doubt that down in Mexico that some of those Priests teach Catholics that the Pope is infallible and can do no wrong. But I know he can be wrong, and he was wrong when he came over here and embraced the United Nations. And he made another mistake when he told us to get down before the Viet Cong and China. We were to prostrate ourselves before the communist in the name of Peace. In fact, don't believe he is infallible when he quotes scripture. For some of it has been tampered with..........

...............Someone brought me a Bakersfield paper and the city council says they don't want any groups in Bakersfield or Kern County who believe in segregation. They want a totally integrated brain as well as society. Well, thank God, there are a lot of people down there who may not say much about it, but they don't believe in being mongrelized. One of these days judgement will begin in the house of God......

QUESTION; --- The Asiatics are astronomers to an extent aren't they, they have a ---

ANSWER; -- Yes, they go thru a Zodiacal cycle and they have the solar and the lunar Zodiac with the houses of the sun and the moon, and these forms are of little creatures, so they know they move out of the Pisces age into Aquarius. But they go thru cycles as this is the year of the rat, and so forth, and in their movements they have come up in their new year to the year of the horse. They also think this is the year when the hoards of Genghis Kahn will ride out of the Steppes.

QUESTION; -- but they have only 4072 for the year on their calendars ---

ANSWER; -- but that has nothing to do with us at all. it doesn't matter whether we use the Alexandrian or Hales we still come out approximately 5400 [years] from Adam to Christ and here we are close to 7400 years for history for the Adamic race.............
