Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019ve\u00a0heard<\/em>\u00a0it said that God is coming for a church. I have heard\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0say that God is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle or any such thing (Ephesians 5:24-27, esp. 5:27, \u201c\u2026a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.\u201d).<\/span> I have heard you say that you had to (Unintelligible word) peace and\u00a0holiness<\/em>, without which no man could see God. I\u2019ve\u00a0heard<\/em>\u00a0you make that declaration. I have heard you avidly\u00a0support<\/em>\u00a0those testimonies, that you had to be a\u00a0whole<\/em>\u00a0and a clean and an upright people, that you could not defraud your brother, that you could not engage in violence, that you must keep the holy commandments and not kill and not lie and not bear false witness, nor commit adultery in any sense with anything that\u2019s false or fornicatious (Deuteronomy 28, esp. 28:9, \u201cThe Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.\u201d).<\/span> I have heard you, out of the mouth of\u00a0human<\/em>\u00a0hunger, declare such desires.\u00a0Now<\/em>\u00a0the mouth of God hath\u00a0revealed<\/em>\u00a0it. You must follow holiness, without which\u00a0no<\/em>\u00a0man can meet or know their God. You must have a\u00a0clean<\/em>\u00a0heart and an upright (unintelligible). There is\u00a0no<\/em>\u00a0way that anything unclean will inherit the new order. You must clean yourself up from these old traditions, these\u00a0exploited<\/em>\u00a0traditions that have held over from capitalism, you must let them\u00a0drop<\/em>\u00a0like the dead weight of a carcass. I hope you will let them drop. Some of you still smoking and say you are\u00a0born<\/em>\u00a0again. If you are born again, Christian socialists, you will\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0smoke.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>If you are regenerated, you will\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0drink. If you have had a\u00a0vision<\/em>\u00a0of this new Jerusalem, the\u00a0city<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0builder<\/em>\u00a0whose\u00a0maker<\/em>\u00a0is\u00a0God<\/em>\u00a0addressing you here, in the first person. If\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0want to inherit the\u00a0new<\/em>\u00a0earth, then you will\u00a0free<\/em>\u00a0yourself from the limitations and the debilitating circumstances of the flesh (Revelation 21:1-8).<\/span> You will not allow your money to give aid and abet the cause of such terrible honky systems as the tobacco industry.\u00a0I<\/em>\u00a0will not often speak about it, and I\u2019ve not said a word about it for years, but I\u00a0am<\/em>\u00a0saying a word about it tonight.\u00a0Don\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0bring your stench-ridden clothes in here.\u00a0Free<\/em>\u00a0yourself of tobacco before you get here!<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers)<\/p>\n

Archie Ijames:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, God! That\u2019s right. That\u2019s right. That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>That\u2019s all right. You may have the\u00a0freedom<\/em>\u00a0to walk too. But when you get in the jails, they\u2019ll be no one but the (unintelligible word) God to become to you. When you stand before the courts and are oppressed by the system of man, there will be no one that will stand except one you are\u00a0now<\/em>\u00a0appearing,\u00a0now<\/em>\u00a0that you are\u00a0looking<\/em>\u00a0at, now that you are\u00a0viewing<\/em>, that one will be your only one that will come. If you reject me when I speak the truth, you have rejected the\u00a0Father<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0Son<\/em>\u00a0and the Holy Spirit!<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>That\u2019s true! True! Very true!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>No one humanly speaking knows where the body of Jesus is. But it says where the\u00a0carcass<\/em>\u00a0is gathered together, there will the eagles be. Where the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together, is in your likeness in the King James translation (Matthew 24: 27-28, \u201cFor as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.\u201d).<\/span> Where we find your people gaining\u00a0strength<\/em>, gaining\u00a0health<\/em>, gaining a\u00a0social<\/em>\u00a0consciousness, gaining a consciousness of morality that they\u2019ve never had before, gaining a consciousness of\u00a0seniorhood<\/em>\u00a0that they have never witnessed in all their days. They\u2019re actually becoming their brothers\u2019\u00a0keeper\u00a0<\/em>(Genesis 4:9, \u201cAnd the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother\u2019s keeper?\u201d).<\/span> They\u2019re going out into the prisons, into the highways and hedges and compelling people to be regenerated. We\u2019re\u00a0renewing<\/em>\u00a0people by this holy hope that is within the breast of those that are in this people\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Yeah.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>They have\u00a0found<\/em>\u00a0their Redeemer. They have come in contact with that which man has forgone.\u00a0Humanly<\/em>\u00a0speaking, you do not know where the body of Jesus is. Even Mary and Martha made that terrible mistake after he had been laid in the tomb. Those who had walked with him by the way\u00a0did<\/em>\u00a0not know him, because coming back from the tomb, they were still looking for Goldilocks Jesus. They were still looking for the same one that they had called the\u00a0carpenter\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0son. But when they were walking back on the road from Emmaus, came down the road, they could not understand when the gardener was there consoling them,\u00a0who<\/em>\u00a0was in their presence. They were telling the gardener how bad their life was, how miserable it was since they\u2019d lost Jesus, how much they were looking forward to his return (Jones is combining two post-resurrection accounts, that of two of Jesus\u2019 followers meeting him on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:13-18, and Mary Magdelene meeting the gardener in John 20: 14-16. There are several other references to the gardener in this sermon. The reference to Jesus as \u201cthe carpenter\u2019s son\u201d is to Matthew 13:55).<\/span> And I notice someone in the (unintelligible) tonight, back in the back was talking about the return of the spirit of God. They all serve\u00a0close<\/em>\u00a0to the spirit of God, and yet they do not know.\u00a0God<\/em>\u00a0is not a follower.\u00a0God<\/em>\u00a0is not a follower. But God is at hand!\u00a0(Mark 1:15, \u201c\u2026The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.\u201d Also, Luke 21:31.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Thank you, Lord. Amen! (unintelligible) Yes he is! Right here!<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Peace. I had declared it through every century and through every dispensation, the Word is now thee. The Word is God. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God (John 1:1, \u201cIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.\u201d).<\/span> And your scriptures\u2019 filled with the promise that the word is\u00a0close<\/em>\u00a0to you. The word is (unintelligible). Even as close as the breath you breathe, and I was within breathing distance of one who said,\u00a0she knew<\/em>\u00a0God! Said, if no one else here tonight\u00a0knows<\/em>\u00a0God, she said, I\u00a0know<\/em>\u00a0God! (unintelligible)\u2013 in the vicinity, God was as close as a touch of a finger. And she did not\u00a0recognize<\/em>. (Continuation of post-resurrection accounts)<\/span> Hallelujah!<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Hey, my, my, my. (unintelligible word)!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Jesus Christ knew because he raised with the consciousness of the hundredfold degree. The hundredfold consciousness is available principle to everyone. It\u2019s a free\u00a0expression<\/em>\u00a0of divine universal law\u00a0(Numerous Gospel references to the hundredfold, including Matthew 13:8, 23; Matthew 19:29; Mark 4:20; Mark 10:30; and Luke 8:8.).<\/span> You could have thirty percent of God, as most churches do. Or you could have\u00a0sixty<\/em>\u00a0percent of God as some endeavor to do in the so-called Pentecostal and Latter Rain movements. Or you could move\u00a0on<\/em>,\u00a0on<\/em>\u00a0beyond the sixty percent, in which forty percent of you are still dead, and only sixty percent alive. You could move on up to the consciousness of one hundred percent, where there is\u00a0nothing<\/em>\u00a0but God. Every vacuum, every vacuum, every vacancy, every place in mind and materiality, you\u2019re\u00a0still<\/em>\u00a0with God\u2019s presence. You\u2019ve come to the consciousness where there is no space\u00a0vacant<\/em>\u00a0of the presence of the Almighty God Socialism, where you recognize his (unintelligible), not only on a moment on a Sunday, but every time you\u2019re in the presence of the people\u2019s mission, you know\u00a0God<\/em>\u00a0is abundant and ever-present.<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>(unintelligible word) (Laughs) Thank you! Thank you!<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>And although I\u2019m with you always, even unto the end of the world (Matthew 28:20,\u00a0 \u201cLo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.\u201d), I declared it in the hundredfold of me in Nazareth, and it has not changed\u00a0(Numerous Gospel references to the hundredfold, including Matthew 13:8, 23; Matthew 19:29; Mark 4:20; Mark 10:30; and Luke 8:8.)<\/span>. He said then and he says today, I will not leave you, I will not forsake you. If he had gone anywhere, then he woulda been a liar. If he had left you, he woulda been a liar, but he said he said he was going nowhere. He said everything else may change, all things may pass away, but I will not change, I will not go anywhere. (Quietens) And so the confused Mary and Martha have summoned the atmosphere of people\u2019s mission tonight. Still confused. Still looking for their savior, when their savior has always been with them.\u00a0Always<\/em>\u00a0around. He may have a different shape, and a different form, a different sound of voice, his hair color might be slightly different, but the same God, the very same Jesus.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>(sings in background)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>I heard the (unintelligible) was making so much to\u00a0do<\/em>\u00a0about the\u00a0mythical<\/em>\u00a0God a while ago. I hear\u00a0nothing<\/em>\u00a0from her now. I hear no expression from her now. Because she\u2019s in the\u00a0same<\/em>\u00a0confusion that Mary and Martha was. She\u2019s looking for the\u00a0same<\/em>\u00a0one that after all supped with him. They have washed his feet. They have\u00a0dined<\/em>\u00a0with him. They have prepared his meals and prepared his bed.\u00a0Mary<\/em>\u00a0and Martha would always know Jesus, they thought. And yet just a few hours after he was dead and buried in the tomb, just a few hours after he\u2019d been removed from them, they did not know him. They did not recognize him. That\u2019s the condition of you that call yourselves second coming millennialists. Adventists, you say, you\u2019re looking forwards to the coming of Jesus. You are the\u00a0least likely<\/em>\u00a0to find him. Because you will not recognize that God is always in the room.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes he is. (one line of singing)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Mary and Martha made the mistake that some are making in this atmosphere tonight. They walk with him but because he was not in the same bodily form \u2013 he had changed his outward appearance \u2013 but it was the same hundredfold, it was the same universal mind principle\u00a0(Numerous Gospel references to the hundredfold, including Matthew 13:8, 23; Matthew 19:29; Mark 4:20; Mark 10:30; and Luke 8:8.)<\/span> because as one graduates in school in the academic process, always someone moves up to take that level. And someone had the mantle upon them. Already Jesus Christ had a new mantle, a new bodily form, a new incarnation, and he was walking with them there by the garden, and Mary and Martha said, \u201cThis is the gardener.\u201d (Voice builds) And your scripture tells you that they did not know the one they called the gardener was the very same Jesus, the very same God that they saw!<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Yeah!<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>What would you see tonight? As one has said, what you see is what you\u2019re gonna get.<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>(Laughs) All right.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>If you just see another form of gardeners denying the power, then you have nothing but institutional religion. But some\u2013 some\u2013 some look and have seen, some look and live, some have heard the voice of the one that was there when the morning star (unintelligible word) together. Some have heard the voice of the one that said the one that said let there be light!<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Some have heard the voice of the one that said let (unintelligible word) appear.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Whatever you call their\u00a0seeing<\/em>, whatever you call the perception that has\u00a0lifted<\/em>\u00a0them. I look upon the one down there that\u2019s 97 years young, Sister Ever [Rejoicing]. She has\u00a0seen<\/em>\u00a0God. She had a pure heart and she saw God. She came\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0the way from Philadelphia because she\u00a0saw<\/em>\u00a0God in a bodily form. (Organ plays) Stand up, Sister Ever. Ninety-seven years young. Respiratory ailment, on the back. She was laying on the back of her back. Laying there ready to die. But she saw God. She had a\u00a0pure<\/em>\u00a0heart. She had a\u00a0pure<\/em>\u00a0heart and she\u00a0saw<\/em>\u00a0God! And now, standing up here today, she\u2019s 97 years young. What would you see tonight? What would you like to see? Do you want to see a\u00a0man<\/em>? A man is good to see when you need someone to help you fix your tire. A man is good to see when you need someone to help you work in your garden. A man is good to see when you need someone to help you climb and do some heavily difficult work. But when you somebody to look you\u2013 when you\u2019re\u00a0sick<\/em>, when you need someone to\u00a0heal<\/em>\u00a0you when you\u2019re\u00a0dying<\/em>. As a sister last night with a cancer on her spine, and even though the prognosis of medical science was she couldn\u2019t live, I said \u201cI<\/em>\u00a0say!\u201d I said \u201cI<\/em>\u00a0say you shall live!\u201d<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(Voice climbs throughout) If she had thought I was a\u00a0man<\/em>, she would\u2019ve never got any help. But she\u00a0knew<\/em>\u00a0she had heard the voice of God. She\u00a0knew<\/em>\u00a0she\u2019d heard the voice on (unintelligible). Come, here\u2019s where to live! Here\u2019s where to live (unintelligible). I\u2019m taking the waters of my feeling.\u00a0Come<\/em>, and I will heal you. Come and I will (unintelligible).\u00a0Come<\/em>, and I will deliver you. Come, and I will bring you through! It\u2019s the same Jesus. It\u2019s the same God! (sings) (unintelligible) the very same Jesus, the very same God, who cares for the (unintelligible word) of man.<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013(unintelligible) degree, but the Ph.D., the ultimate degree, the doctor of philosophy of\u00a0God<\/em>, you have to localize in some Peoples Temple mission to find. You have to make yourself in a\u00a0focal<\/em>\u00a0point in Peoples Temple to get the Ph.D. in deity. And you say, \u201cI\u00a0know<\/em>\u00a0God.\u201d Yes, you may know God in an eighth-grade experience. Or you might even \u2013 some of \u2018em who think you know God the\u00a0most<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 might just be getting out of kindergarten. And\u00a0some<\/em>\u00a0of you who think you know God, are certainly no further along than the third or the fourth grade. But there is a destiny to which I have come to manifest. And I would not be\u00a0truthful<\/em>\u00a0if I told you otherwise. I have declared it, I have manifested, I have\u00a0exonerated<\/em>\u00a0the hundredfold. And that is the philosophy. That\u2019s the doctorate of the philosophy of God. The manifestation of the\u00a0ultimate<\/em>\u00a0objectives and\u00a0causality<\/em>\u00a0of God. The manifestation of the highest\u00a0principle<\/em>\u00a0of\u00a0truth<\/em>\u00a0and universal knowledge\u00a0in<\/em>\u00a0God. This is the Ph.D. class. (voice climbs) If you like\u00a0primer<\/em>\u00a0school, if you like the first grade, then you\u2019ll have to go somewhere else. If you enjoy\u00a0kindergarten<\/em>, or\u00a0nursery<\/em>\u00a0school, you won\u2019t be happy here. If you enjoyed\u00a0high<\/em>\u00a0school days, you\u2019re going to be lost in this atmosphere. But if you enjoy\u00a0higher learning<\/em>, if you enjoy the academies of the\u00a0highest<\/em>, if you want to come to the summa moment of\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0that is (unintelligible word), if you want to find\u00a0God<\/em>\u00a0personified in the highest first person, (voice drops) then I say come with me. Come\u00a0sup<\/em>\u00a0with me. Come and\u00a0bask<\/em>\u00a0in the sunlight of this divine ocean. Your offerings can wait, because God does not have to have an offering. God just has to be. That\u2019s all God has to do.<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Hey, hey! Yeah!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(Voice climbs throughout) You know the actual consciousness of God is a little bit like the ocean. The closer you get to it, the better you feel. The more the breezes blow on you. And some of us in these industrial cities with all the pollution feel the need of getting close right out where the full tide blows. Out where the full tide roars. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing now. We\u2019re close now. You\u2019re\u00a0close<\/em>\u00a0to the sea breeze. You\u2019re\u00a0close<\/em>\u00a0to the\u00a0source<\/em>. You are in the\u00a0ultimate<\/em>\u00a0if you know God, if you\u2019re able to recognize. But some of you call him a gardener. Now you better be careful, or you may just call him a man in a black robe. You better be careful, because you are in the\u00a0actual conscious presence<\/em>\u00a0of the most high God. And if I went out to declare it, the\u00a0stones<\/em>\u00a0would cry out.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Murmurs)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(Voice moderates) Stones would cry out better than some\u00a0humans<\/em>. (Pause) If you\u2019re gonna get people to understand God, then you\u2019re going to have to know and act like you\u2019ve met God. You\u2019re gonna have to\u00a0express<\/em>\u00a0like you\u2019ve met God.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(unintelligible word)\u00a0With<\/em>\u00a0or without your person, God will declare himself tonight.\u00a0With<\/em>\u00a0or without your help and\u00a0assistance<\/em>, even with your\u00a0opposition<\/em>, God will be God.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(Conversational) It\u2019s important that you do take care of your responsibilities to serve mankind. God needs nothing. God comes without houses or lands, money or price. There\u2019s no\u00a0cost<\/em>\u00a0to God. He doesn\u2019t come with any jewels or fine furs, he doesn\u2019t come with any new cars or any new suits. God is the same as he was in the days of Nazareth. He came without\u00a0money<\/em>\u00a0or price to save all that are lost. So God\u2019s available to you without money or price, but\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0have to help those that have fallen\u00a0with<\/em>\u00a0your monies, because that\u2019s the way you work out your plan of salvation.<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

(organ playing in background)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>When\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0around you is nothing but quicksand, when all around you is nothing but a\u00a0manure<\/em>\u00a0pile, then you should look lively, even at your\u00a0lowest<\/em>\u00a0point.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Yeah! Oh yeah!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>In these past weeks and months, who has been attempted to be prosecuted? Who has attempted\u2013 the oppositions that have been inflicted upon\u00a0this<\/em>\u00a0cause have been greater than any other cause, because\u2013 just is it so, always. They come to\u00a0kill<\/em>\u00a0God, thinking they do God a service. In the name of their\u00a0false<\/em>\u00a0gods, it is said in the last days, they would even\u00a0kill<\/em>\u00a0God\u2013 kill and thinking they do God a service (John 16:2, \u201cyea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.\u201d).<\/span> That\u2019s a strange\u2013<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

(woman singing in background)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>I\u00a0look<\/em>\u00a0at some of you that slept in the same garden. Your face interchanges. Your face changes. You\u2019ve been sleeping for a long time. You slept in the same garden. Only three-foot hall\u2013 three foot was that wall then. Now you sitting in comfortable seats, it\u2019s easier. But more is responsible to you now because you knew more and you had\u2013 you have more knowledge. So you have to\u00a0fight<\/em>\u00a0to keep awake. Some of you can\u00a0participate<\/em>\u00a0when you\u2019re participating for vain, selfish reasons. When you\u2019re\u00a0competing<\/em>\u00a0as a capitalist then you w\u2013 you participate. I\u2019m consternated that some can\u00a0sing<\/em>\u00a0only when they\u2019ve got some competition from the world. Some can\u00a0enthusiastically<\/em>\u00a0enjoy their salvation only when somebody else is around, so that they can show that they are more capable in their performance. The directors cannot get any\u00a0assistance<\/em>\u00a0until there\u2019s some kind of catfish in the tank. There was a scrawny tank catfish, I must declare. (Pause) But now the catfish is gone and all of you are (Unintelligible word, sounds like \u201cthin\u201d or \u201cdead\u201d).<\/p>\n

Woman in crowd:<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>After a while, the world\u2019s going to be on fire, children. Because this great salvation\u2019s going to stir up such confusion, but\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0the wrong systems that you saw in the films are going to come down.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>They\u2019re going to come down! I promise, oh, no. Oh, no, no, no. You didn\u2019t hear me! They\u2019re going to come down on their head. They\u2019re going to crush you down to the earth so that you\u2019ll come out as a refiner\u2019s\u2013 in the refiner\u2019s fire. You\u2019ll be\u00a0purified<\/em>. \u2018Cause truth crushed down to the earth will rise again. But it takes that processing. It takes that terrible, grueling process to bring out the fine emeralds that are in these hewn stone and\u2013 and callous rocks.<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Oh, yeah!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>I welcome the day! I hope because if we\u2019re being\u2013 that every national bearer, every flag, every creed, all credos and all political systems, they\u2019ll fall. But I\u2019m glad for the day when something gets loose on you. I saw you react to our little\u00a0catfish<\/em>. The scrawniest catfish I\u2019ve seen in a long while. I saw you getting\u00a0starved<\/em>, and I was grateful indeed for that scrawny catfish. But I\u2019d be more grateful that they turned the capitalist press\u2013 the Hearst on us again. I\u2019ll be\u00a0more<\/em>\u00a0grateful when the police state comes after your savior. I\u2019ll be\u00a0more<\/em>\u00a0grateful when they come with wicked hands again to take me as they took the Christ of old and show them again. I\u2019ll be\u00a0more<\/em>\u00a0grateful because I don\u2019t like the slow death that I see around here. People sleeping (unintelligible) of the right idea.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, yes!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s my opinion that some of you\u00a0then<\/em>\u00a0will know what you\u2019re made of. Some of you then will recognize whether you are a Saul, whether you are a Paul or a Saul (Conversion of Saul to Paul in Acts), or whether you are a Peter, a rock (Matthew 16:18, \u201cAnd I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.\u201d),<\/span> or whether you are just a shallow wind. Some of you then will know\u2013 you\u2019ll not know now, you don\u2019t know by singing. That\u2019s just child\u2019s play. That\u2019s minnows in a little ripple stream. That\u2019s just easy going, down easy mill stream. You can\u2019t\u00a0know<\/em>\u00a0this thing by how well you sing.<\/p>\n

Woman in crowd:<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>You\u00a0can\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0know this thing by how well you perform in your duties out there, but when persecutions come, when prosecutions come, when oppositions come from every hand. I welcome their coming. For then I will be able to save you from your miserable self.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Murmurs) That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(Ministerial cadence) I welcome their coming, I say come quickly. Come the four winds, the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Come,\u00a0ride<\/em>\u00a0hard on the heads of this, the chosen ones.\u00a0Ride<\/em>\u00a0hard on them!\u00a0Ride<\/em>\u00a0over them. See whether they\u2019ll stand up and defend their faith. See what they\u2019re made of.\u00a0Ride<\/em>\u00a0along, four horseman of the apocalypse! I call you forth! I call you forth from the east, from the west and the north and the south. Come in! Sweep in over this Temple and sever and divide and\u00a0scatter<\/em>! As the four winds does the feathers (Revelation 6).<\/span> (Quietens) Scattered. I have\u00a0chosen<\/em>\u00a0it to be. I command the uh\u2013 beginning, the (unintelligible word) of persecutions. I command this day in mid-May, to bring us no more plenty. We\u2019ve had weeks of plenty, and has done nothing for us. I now say\u00a0come<\/em>, winds of persecution. Ow! Come oppositions! Rail in upon us.\u00a0Shake<\/em>\u00a0this house! Come all you that are lost in that interim world, that do not want me to be saved, yet do not want\u00a0these<\/em>\u00a0to be saved, and yet know that you could only be saved by our being saved. (unintelligible) with your work. You want a chance to be saved? All the lost voices of the interim stage.\u00a0Come<\/em>\u00a0out now!<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Reacts)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(Calls out) Incarnate yourself! Shake this people! Try them by fire! We saw the pestilences! We saw the famines. We saw the (unintelligible word) of revolution! Open up all the (unintelligible word)! Pour them out!<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>I say, come capitalism with all your mighty demoniac power. Make your last stand, and get it over with. We welcome you. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Best not clap. Best not clap. You don\u2019t know what your Father just did.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Murmurs)<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Oh, my! I\u2019m with you!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(Pause) (Conversational) Best not clap. If you love God, then you can clap. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(sustained applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(Hums) I looked over the youngster tonight singing under the influence of capitalist competition. And I saw that young boy in just a m\u2013 moment, time ahead. Just (Unintelligible) by the fall. I saw that young boy indulging in the worst sensual greed. I looked across the faces of some that I have witnessed in some point in time and space recently, and I saw them indulge in every kind of vice and crime. And what I found the people\u2019s heart beating loudly for their approach. And some\u2013 some here, who also have a desire to taste of that iniquity, the mother of harlots, capitalism. You have a desire to suck at her breast (Revelation 17:1-7).<\/span> So I say, (unintelligible, sounds like \u201cHouston\u201d), thee of God.<\/p>\n

Woman in crowd:<\/strong>\u00a0Amen!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Houston said that they would truly know their God. Bring all the apocalypse, bring everything that has ever been threatened. Bring the four horsemen with all their evil and all of their test in powers. Bring them, so that this, these, the chosen ones, can come forth, out of the midst of the ones that are called.\u00a0Some<\/em>\u00a0are called \u2013 so many \u2013 but only few are chosen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Responds)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>I look over these ranks and I know\u00a0many<\/em>\u00a0of you are called, but few of you \u2013 only a few of you, only a few of you \u2013 are chosen (Matthew 22:14, \u201cFor many are called, but few are chosen.\u201d See also Matthew 20:16).<\/span> Do you know I know right now the ones who are called, and the ones who are chosen?<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Responds)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Do you know that I can look at you as it were, a magnet and a magnifying glass. I draw you to me and I can look at you through a microscopic lens. I\u2019m full of discernment and I know the chosen from the called. I can look over this assembly and some of your faces are ashen gray, and some of you have the redding\u2013 the\u2013 the\u2013 the readiness of the difference\u2013 the difference\u2013 the differential of being called. I can see the difference tonight. It shows to\u00a0my<\/em>\u00a0eye. Some others may see it, but\u00a0I<\/em>\u00a0can see it.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Murmurs)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Every place my eye goes, if you follow my eye, and look at the face, you\u2019ll know the\u00a0difference<\/em>\u00a0between the called and the chosen. Look all through this house, that are in close proximity. Tonight I\u2019ve been looking close because I have that work to do, an investigative work. Hands clasped. The unity of mind and purpose. This consciousness can bring joy, if you allow (unintelligible) to perfect you. Beyond degree and cause you to feel the fullest expression of (unintelligible) love and joy of divine Pentecostal socialism. You can know the love and joy as you\u2019ve never known it. Love and joy above all the tears and the fears of capitalist mortality. It\u2019s\u00a0something<\/em>\u00a0if you really know this principle. If you\u00a0don\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0know it, you are on a vast sea, a stormy sea. One day you\u2019ll have to know it. I hope that the persecutions of the next days will bring you into consciousness quickly.<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>The holy socialist universal order in which there could be no loyalties to flags, colors, or creeds. And I will, whether you cooperate or not, cause every knee to bow and every tongue to confess (Romans 14:11, \u201cFor it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.\u201d See also Isaiah 45:23).<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Calls out)<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, he will.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>I don\u2019t matter, it matters not, what you do with your own person at this moment. Just as long as you\u2019re harmonious. (Pause) Hands clasped. (Pause) Some things that I\u2019m trying to do for the welfare of the human race, are very crystal clear. I have made about thirty\u2013 thirty beautiful prophetic experiences tonight and marked them down \u2013 thirty-two<\/em>, to be exact \u2013 in which people have been protected from all kinds of threats, diseases and several of them, seven deaths. (unintelligible). There\u2019s something a little obscured here, perhaps it was because your mind was not attuned as it should\u2019ve been, because where you look for help, that\u2019s where you get help. Your mind and attention, your love and devotion have to be placed on the fundamental, which I am. Jesus said, this is why he was crucified, because of what I\u2019m doing tonight.<\/p>\n

Voice in crowd:<\/strong>\u00a0Yeah!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Jesus was crucified because of what I am doing tonight. Jesus said, you are gods.<\/span> He said who be the man that (unintelligible word) himself God, and they killed him, but he said it is written you all are gods (John 10: 33-34, \u201cThe Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?\u201d). I\u2019m the firstborn of many brethren (Romans 8:28-29, \u201cAnd we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.\u201d). These things shall you do and greater. He said greater shall come after me, because I have gone to the Father (John 14:12, \u201cVerily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.\u201d).<\/span> So I\u2019m experiencing and demonstrating, I\u2019m exonerating, and beautifying and exhibiting that which Jesus died on the cross for. To hinder me would be spitting in the name of Jesus.<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019d be to stone the cross, because the cross made such a work possible, as the manifestation of a fathership degree that is now with you. Your hands are clasped. Someone who\u2013 that is not so attuned, perhaps, that I have not caught the\u00a0full<\/em>\u00a0impact of their chart, that I need to protect them. Someone who may have sometime known of a dog, a dog by the name of, I think, Hobo or Oboe. Hobo that was\u00a0killed<\/em>\u00a0by a dog named Jojo. (Pause) It\u2019s important for you to\u00a0think<\/em>\u00a0through your mind and peruse your mind closely now, because it can be the difference between life and death. Look a way back. (Pause) A long way back. (Pause) G\u2013 Who is this? (Pause) Spirit of socialism, holy, holy, holy.<\/p>\n

(whispering, very quietly in background, unintelligible)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>What is your name, please?<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Martha Jones.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Martha Jones. Who\u2019s Tom?<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>My nephew.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>You\u2019ve never told anyone here of this. Never told me.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(Unintelligible)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Dog. Jojo. (Unintelligible under Jones) was\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0dog.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Hobo.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>You\u2019ve not told a living soul that.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>No, I haven\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>And I do not know\u00a0you<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>No, you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>But I\u00a0do<\/em>\u00a0know you because I am the infinite intelligence.<\/p>\n

Ijames:\u00a0<\/strong>Yeah! God Almighty! Right on!<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>I would say tonight, sisters, it\u2019s not always that we speak in some emphatic and declarative tense. The\u00a0imperative<\/em>, the absolute tense of God, the first person, is now addressing you. If you cannot stand the heaviness of this holy doctrine, I would slip out. I\u2019d slip out. Because to touch this, would be like touching the Ark of the Covenant from the days of the major prophets. Anyone who did, dropped dead. To touch this holy revelation now would bring death to you. I\u2019m\u00a0vindicating<\/em>\u00a0what I say. If you\u00a0prove<\/em>\u00a0what you say, then in the empirical school of scientific evidence in the study of\u2013 of all knowledge, in sound inquiry, you are to\u00a0accept<\/em>\u00a0that which is proven. This is a stranger to me, yet I tell her about the fall of a sparrow, her dog. That\u2019s as the fall of the sparrow.\u00a0God<\/em>, the infinite mind, is aware of the\u00a0fall<\/em>\u00a0of the hairs on your head (Matthew 10:29-30, \u201cAre not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.\u201d See also Luke 12:6-7).<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Murmurs)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>And the loss of a dog, yea, so many years ago, for that was a long time ago, but the Spirit is here to meet your need now. Hands clasped. Because of that simple little thing. (glossolalia). Who is Annette?<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>That was my twin. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>You have twins.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Annette, and I hear something\u2013 like Ninny or Nina, I\u2013<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Neenie is my baby.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Neenie. Jeanette and Annette. Born on the 30th day of October.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Uh-hmm.<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Scattered clapping)<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(whispered) I know you, God!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2013 I\u2013 are they with you? (Pause) Where are they? Hands clasped. Because it\u2019s important, their lives must be protected by this Holy Spirit now. They\u2019re standing in line,\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0of those children.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(whispered) I know that. I know you, God.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>You knew it, and that\u2019s why it happens. Spirits. (Pause) Hands clasped. (Pause) One of the children was wondering where Hobo, the shepherd dog\u2013<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013seemed to die of pneumonia.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Yeah. (unintelligible) (cries)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>But the reason he died is because of the attack of Jojo.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:<\/strong>\u00a0(crying harder)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>So I want to clear all minds, \u2018cause I knew there was (unintelligible). It\u2019s important now, because the one that discerns the\u00a0thoughts<\/em>\u00a0and know the intents in your heart is looking at you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Murmurs)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>The one that Hebrews 4:12 said when he came in his fullness and his glory. Said then the word was made flesh through the discerned thoughts and knows the intentions of the heart, he would separate bone from marrow\u00a0(Hebrews 4:12, \u201cFor the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.\u201d),<\/span> and we saw it like last evening, when the tumors were taken out off the woman\u2019s spine and she walked perfectly whole. Or we see that it like this sister that\u2019s in the Temple right now that has a new hip socket, when she was back after the holy revelation\u2013<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:<\/strong>\u00a0(whispers) Oh, God.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013right in this atmosphere tonight. I will see it like the one that\u2019s standing here before us, a precious singer, had all of her bones broken, and I mended those bones and took steel rods out of her body, as she waves her hands. It\u2019s important to know who\u2019s addressing you now, because I have to save the whole house.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Spirits (Unintelligible word) the mind of God. Debra Lynn. Who\u2019s this?<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s my other born. (cries)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>On we go, on we go. Down the line. I\u2019m now in the absolute affirmative on the life of our children. I\u2019m saving every one of them in that line. Hands clasped.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:<\/strong>\u00a0(crying, unintelligible)<\/p>\n

Congregation:\u00a0<\/strong>(Cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

Ijames:<\/strong>\u00a0Thank you, God! Thank you, God! Thank you, God. Thank you, God.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>All I ask you to do, all I\u2019d ask you to do in Palo Alto is to change something. Just change something in your home that would be devoured with flames. There are two large round, gold relief sculpture-type plaques.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes sir!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>A man\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes sir!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>A man\u2019s head.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes sir!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>In the bottom one\u2013 by you\u2013 he\u2019s looking to the left as you look at it.<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s right!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>All right, as you see it in your mind. You move that, and that will save your house and your (unintelligible).<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>And when you move that plaque, I will take the last of the (unintelligible) to find the (unintelligible) in God!<\/p>\n

Martha Jones:<\/strong>\u00a0(screaming)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(cries out, unintelligible)<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Enthusiastic applause, eventually quietens to singing)<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Never do that (tape edit)\u2013 I must urge of you, one last time, because you\u2019ve never heard me speak about the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and they\u2019re going to ride high. They\u2019re going to gallop as a stallion. And I want you to defend yourself from unnecessary defeat. I\u00a0urge<\/em>\u00a0upon you tonight that you do right by this holy cause. Some of you\u00a0never<\/em>\u00a0do right, and some of you will perhaps help make up for some others that have not done right, and great will be your reward (Matthew 5:12, \u201cRejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.\u201d).<\/span> But I\u2019m asking you, this house has already begun to see it.\u00a0Already<\/em>\u00a0tonight, a message brought to me.\u00a0Already<\/em>\u00a0one has been struck down, just fifteen minutes after I spoke my sermon. Now what I can do depends upon\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0faith, and some who are immediately affected in this room. But now\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0moment comes. Will you\u2013 will you not rob God (Malachi 3:8, \u201cWill a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.\u201d).<\/span>\u00a0You<\/em>\u00a0know what I have to do. You know Operation Hope.\u00a0You<\/em>\u00a0know what lays ahead the first of June. You know how important that second day is. So let us respond wholeheartedly now.\u00a0You<\/em>\u00a0know the children\u2019s home, the senior citizen homes, all those lovely facilities where we take care of people. And you can see evidently that I\u2019m not like other preachers, I don\u2019t have watches or rings, or own cars or suits. Nothing but used choir robes.<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013(unintelligible) to pass the cancer. Said so glad, my God. Why can\u2019t you calmly that someone could come from the Catholic faith, where they\u2019re called priest, father.

Jones:<\/strong>\u00a0(unintelligible) \u2013vow. We wait. Our altar\u2019s open. If I were you, I would be in a standing position at this moment. I would highly recommend it, for your very health\u2019s sake. You think you\u2019re tired. I can advise you it\u2019ll be better for embolisms to move in some bodies here, to keep the blood flowing. You\u2019ll not be hurt by standing. Now if I say that\u2013 and no one\u2019s ever died in my whole presence. Not one. Seriously, when the woman fell stone dead, and the church was packed in Los Angeles, our Temple there, I said, do not be alarmed, for she fell like stone, didn\u2019t she? How many saw? She fell like stone, without breath, without heart, without blood pressure. Dead. But I said, do not be alarmed, why? Because no one up until now, in all these scores of years, have ever died in my presence.\u00a0No<\/em>\u00a0one that has not\u2013 if they died, they resurrected immediately. I mean by that, they have\u00a0never<\/em>\u00a0remained dead. So that\u2019s\u00a0good<\/em>\u00a0enough for you to take\u00a0hope<\/em>\u00a0when you stand to your feet. I\u2019m asking, if you want to belong to the only true church. [You] Say, I\u00a0belong<\/em>\u00a0to a church. If you\u2019re satisfied, then I will release you to your own level of consciousness. But if you want to be in the\u00a0true<\/em>\u00a0church, the church of your\u00a0savior<\/em>, Jesus Christ, the church, the general assembly of the church of the firstborn, to innumerable company of angels, to the spirits of just men and women that are being made perfect in this, the only egalitarian camp (Hebrews 12:22-23, \u201cBut ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect.\u201d),<\/span> the only holy Pentecostal socialist camp. Would you come? The altars are open. They\u2019re not\u00a0always<\/em>\u00a0open. Would you like to tonight? For this is your day. This is the Ark of the Covenant. This is the holy seal. This is the Christ. Will you come? Will you come? (Clears throat) The church is open for just a few more minutes. Last night, the altars were filled. Tonight, the messages have been\u00a0heavier<\/em>. Do you want to (unintelligible). Do you want? Do you want to unite with the church? For\u00a0Christ<\/em>\u00a0is here, the head of the church.<\/p>\n

Ijames:<\/strong>\u00a0Oh, yes, he is.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Will you come? Down to the altar, just stand before you go back to make your application for the passport to life. We co\u2013<\/p>\n
