“We are here to prepare the minds of men for the time that the Messiah should come upon your earth, and to fulfill the words that were spoken by our Lord when He did promise unto thee a thousand years of peace.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, June 11, 1971)

A voice whispers, “Not Ray.”

“Who then?” Ray’s wife asks, after he stumbled onto the sofa and fell unconscious.

“Body — spirit — soul — God! — many worlds — many universes — many galaxies, like pebbles on a beach, so vast. Each galaxy set up for man[‘s] expansion.”

“Which is most important?”

“God!”

“Who is God?”

“God is everything.”

“Not one thing?”

“Not one thing, but everything. God is — is God!”

“[Who] do you want to tell me about?”

“In the beginning — in the beginning God gave man[‘s] spirit because He was lonely. Then [man’s] spirit was not enough, because spirit always knew of God — in spirit — so many spirits — so many, many spirits.

“Then God thought, ‘I SHOULD [MAKE] MAN, FOR I HAVE USE [FOR, OF] THIS [MAN].’ Before, before there were many gods, like our God, before [the two] worlds, many worlds.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, April 3, 1970)

“Many messages — many souls. You may ask questions of any subject as long as permission is given from the soul.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, April 6, 1970)

“All knowledge is at your bidding. If you have permission of a soul, ask of any subject and you shall know through me.” (Aka, April 7, 1970)

As the spiritual messengers of God, Aka, speak to us, this is what one sees within one’s soul or mind’s eye.

“Now, as we have said before, man can destroy nothing. We know of the many spirits of man, we know of the many souls of man, and we know of thy questions.

“And you ask, how could there be the spirits of God, as though the pebbles of a brook?

“And we would say to you — now, that is better, all is in accord.

“And we would say to you, it would be better, far better, that man should cast himself into a pit of fire with Lucifer than it would be for man to take one other person from God. That is why we have told you before, our Father has many mansions. Each man, in his own way, should believe in God. God has not set rules for worshiping Him. Nay, man should set these rules for himself.

“And as we have said before, if a man should lose his hand and pray to God for guidance so that he may use one hand as two, God would send to him those who have lost their hands. And by doing this, each man, in himself, would know of God in his own way. That is why we have spoke to you before of all the religions, as thy would call them, and all the worship of God.

“We have told you before, do not repeat what others have told you when you talk to God. Talk of [to] Him as to yourself; therefore, God would understand you. For if you repeat what others have said before and not mean them, they would mean nothing to God, for they mean nothing to you.

“Can you understand this?”

“Yes, Aka.”

“Nay, not fully, but the day should come that thy will.

“Now, thy would ask again of us, who comes to you, and from where we came? For we were sent for one who asked God. And he who sent [us] and asks did say, ‘Father, send Thy these who would teach, and send Thy these who would know of my Father.’ [See John 13:14–17, 20; 14:1–5, 15–21, 27–29; John 16:16–19, 22–24,The Revelation of John 5:1–7.]

“There were those before him who did the same.” [Editor’s note: Early prophets and teachers taught man to know God through oral tradition long before some teachings were written in books such as the Torah of Moses (300 B.C.) or Nevi’im, the prophets; the Upanishads (700 B.C.?), or the Bhagavad Gita (500 B.C.?). And there were others.]

“We have told you before, you would pass the beggar on the street and that beggar would be above you, for he would be the next to enter the kingdom of God and stand beside Him. And God might ask this beggar for advice.” (See Santideva’s Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life.)

“Does this seem strange to thee? Yes, we see this. We also see — one moment, please.

“Yes, yes, yes, yes, Father.

“Then, we would say in a different way, one more liking to our Father’s words. We have made ourselves known to you as our Father has suggested. For we call, as thy would call it, ourselves, ‘Aka.’ Think thee of the first of the name, Aka, and thy will think of the Almighty. Think of the second of the name, and thy will think of the word, karmic. Think of the last of the name, and thy will think of the records, the records which are kept from the beginning, of all planes, of all knowledge, which man was born and born again.

“This knowledge, as our Father gives us permission, we should give of thee. We give this knowledge so that man, all of man, would know the love of our Father. And by knowing of the love our Father has to give, of the tears our Father sheds, that all man, of all religions, should come to our Father together in peace and love.

“For we have said before, when thy pray, pray for guidance. This, in itself, is the ending of a karma.

“Pray for acceptance of thy brothers and thy sisters. If your brother should offend thee, then go to this brother and talk to him privately. But then, if thy brother should still offend thee, take three of thy group and talk again. Can thy understand of what we tell thee?”

“I think so.”

“Then, it does not matter how you spell of this. But if all of you here could agree upon this one simple thing, then you have taken one step closer to our Father.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, July 15, 1970)

“For the one who should ask our Father, and that that has been said before shall be said again — for we are not great, we are here to prepare a way for the coming of your Messiah. Where no light did shine before light shall shine again. Upon your earth shall become new again, and therefore, there shall be a new heaven and a new earth….” [See John 14–17, and The Revelation of John, chapter 5, 20:12–16 and chapters 21–22.]

“We are here to prepare the minds of men for the time that the Messiah should come upon your earth, and to fulfill the words that were spoken by our Lord when He did promise unto thee a thousand years of peace. But remember, this time shall come, not as you count, but as our Father — your God, your Father — did count.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, June 11, 1971)

“Now is the time of the Cherub. But we bring upon your earth a new Book with wings.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, October 1, 1971)

“And the Lord sayeth to thee these words: ‘HARK, FOR IN MY NAME I SHOULD GIVE FORTH A NEW COVETH, AND THEREFORE, FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.’”

“And we should say in these words. Give not of blasphemy to those who should sanctify the old coveth, and give not of blasphemy who should sanctify those things that man should believe, for remember, thy have lived before. And the Lord did giveth of these things that man should evolve forward into this time. But remember, as we should say unto thee these words, your Lord has given of thee this time before. Therefore, the words we should say are for the wise to listen, and for the wise to speak.

“Therefore, hark. For as David has passed before thee, and as David has walked upon thy earth and done the bidding, therefore, of his Lord, and as David, therefore, passed into your time and bare his own karma, so should the children of this plane, therefore, bear witness into these words.

“For as it has been said before, in the old coveth it did say unto these words; let not a man, therefore, be with a maiden unless he go unto the father of the same and bear permission for marriage. And of the second coveth it did say unto these words, that if so a man should look on a woman with lust, therefore, he bare forth his karma. And now we should say unto thee these words; let not a man or a woman look upon another without love in their hearts or they should bare forth their karma.

“If a man should take of thee to borrow of the same, if he should come to thee in need, then give unto him with gladness. But after he has taken of the same, and therefore, bares hatred for his own shame in his own heart, then take back that that thy have given unto him.

“And we should say unto thee these words. Bear not upon thy brother false witness. And we should say, bear not upon thy sister of false witness. For that that has been done to thee shall be done with thee. For that that man should bear forth, his fruit, good or bad, all fruits he should carry with him. Therefore, that thy burden should be light and sweet and that thy yoke should only [bare] good fruit, plant there of good fruit of the same.

“And therefore, we say unto these words ––hark, for our Father should speak unto thee.

“For as the Book is given unto thy hands, the book that should bear wings — ‘For now is the time of the Cherub’ — therefore, place the Cherub upon the front and the back of the book; place the sign of the ankh upon the front and the back of the book. And therefore, place before thine eyes the time of the great sword that should cut two ways.” (Spiritual messengers of God, October 8, 1971)

“Thy have other questions.”

“Yes, Aka, last night you said that in the, on the covers of the new book that we’re working on, that we should have the sign of the Cherub, and also the ankh….Can you tell us what the Cherub looks like, because we do not know if it is a baby, or as we would call it, an angel, an adult?”

Another name for cherub is sphinx. When Moses and the Hebrew people fled Egypt, they were led by what they described as a pillar looking like fire by day and light by night. The Hebrews drew an image of the sphinx or cherub with wings outstretched. The ankh is a symbol for eternal Life. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx.

“Now is the time of the cherub.” God told Moses to put two cherubs atop the ark of the Covenant. Through their outstretched wings God speaks to man. Painting by James Tissot — “The Ark Passes Over the Jordan.”

“We should say unto thee these words — that as the Cherubim is the highest order of what you would know of as servants of God…think that as these words were spoken unto the people of God, they had fled out of Egypt.” (Aka, spiritual messengers of God, October 9, 1971)

“If thy should walk upon the water with us, have faith, for we have faith in thee. Have faith in God, for He loves His children so. And yet, He weeps, and He says unto His children, ‘MUST I WEEP FOREVER; MUST I SHOW MY WRATH WHEN IN MY HEART THERE IS BUT LOVE?’”

“Remember, now is the time of the Cherub, and we are here but for one purpose, to prepare a way for the coming of the Messiah. Let this be a time of gladness. And let God’s children have before them hands of welcome, for only with the use of your own free will can this happen.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, October 15, 1971)

Angels appear to shepherds. “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. See Luke, chapter 2 https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Luke-Chapter-2/

“And we should say unto thee these words, as we have said before. Your Father asks but two things of thee — that thy should love unto Him one-tenth of the love given unto you, His children, and that thy should love unto thy fellow man in the same manner. There have been many laws, as you would know them, made by man, for the worship of our Father. Our Father has never interfered. There were times He should frown upon His children’s folly.

“And we say unto thee, for in the time that we asked of you to form a group, we gave unto you your free choice, there to exercise of the same in making your laws for your organization. But we should say unto thee, beware that thy do not make so many laws that thy drive the children of our Father from His house. Learn to be patient unto these children. For remember, you are the shepherd and they are your flock. But also beware, for a good shepherd should watch for wolves among his flock.

“There shall many come out of idle curiosity. There shall many more come to prove of this a [farce]. But that in itself is good, for all shall leave with a new insight into their own souls. Each shall take with them that that is needed into their selves. For as we have said before, this work shall be as a pebble that is placed in a brook that should flow to the rivers, and from the rivers to the many oceans, and to the many lands. Can you understand of which we speak?” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, October 29, 1971)

“Give unto your Father one-tenth of the love He should give unto His children; give unto your fellow man in the same manner, and [with] this, your Father should bring His many children back unto His mansions.

“We shall say unto you these words, we have placed in your hands the Book with wings.

“And as we have said before, we have placed in your hands and in your minds a new thing unto man; give it also with love.” (Spiritual messengers of God, November 5, 1971)

“Guard these [your soul, spirit, and immortal body] well, for those who are there in the Book of the beginning shall be in the Book of the end.” (See the Revelation 20:12.)

“That this may be done, as we have given unto thee the Book with wings, the book of knowledge. We know that we have told unto thee many times of the lessons that we want thee to learn. And we shall give many samples of the same.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, November 12, 1971)

“And we should say unto thee these words. If we should tell thee of the heavenly things, and therefore, should bring faith into thy lives — yet, we have come not to bring heaven upon thy earth, but to bring heaven, as thy would know it, into the temple of God, and therefore, the temple of God should be in man.” (See the Revelation 22:22.)

“We do not seek out a great building. Nay, we seek out that proportion of man that knows of God. We seek out that proportion that may be awakened from its long sleep. As we have said before, our Father has many mansions and that no man may destroy anything. Thy may only change its form, and therefore, build upon the temple of God that dwells within each man.

“And therefore, we say unto thee, be transformed. Take into your hearts the love thy should possess unto your Lord and give it unto another in the same manner that it was given unto thee.

“Yet, this word, this word of yours that thy use so often and know not the meaning of — as was said unto Abraham, show me one soul that, in truth, should give of the love unto their fellow man, even one-tenth unto the same that our Lord should give unto man, and the Lord would weep no more for His children. Cast not a stone because a man should use a word thy do not understand. And as has been said before, if thy must cast a stone, let us stand before thee and cast the first stone at us. Do not blame your Father for your own misgivings. Open your hearts that we may enter. And therefore, as the great bird took flight upon the pyramid, so should the knowledge of the Lord take flight in thy hearts.

“Thy have thought there are many hidden words in your scripture. And as we have said before, there shall be no darkness that we shall not bring light upon. There is nothing hidden that shall not be uncovered.” (See the Revelation 22:23–26.)

“But do not take your souls and place them in darkness, for then thy hide the knowledge of thy God from thyself….”

“For remember, you are the children of God; therefore, the Lord would look into thy needs, and therefore, give a gift unto thee in a manner that would be most marvelous for thy eyes to see….

“As you celebrate the coming of the Messiah, we are here but for one purpose, that is in the preparation for the coming of the Messiah upon your earth. (See the Revelation 22:6–20.)

“But remember, not only your earth shall celebrate this, for in all the galaxies that thy can think of, they shall celebrate this also. For as the Lord should change a stone, so should this happen on your earth. For in the preparation we are here to open the doors of your souls. We are here to build a temple of God in man.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, November 26, 1971)

“And we say unto thee in this manner, we are here but for one purpose, for the coming of the Messiah. For we reach outward for the need of your souls to prepare a way upon your earth for this time.

“And as we have said before, he has been born upon your earth, and as the Lord has sent him into the desert to be guarded, the time grows near. Must our Lord take him back and protect him or will thee stretch out thy arms and prepare a way within thyself?

“Now is the time of the Cherub.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, November 30, 1971)

“Hark, for those who have ears to listen — for now is the time a new coveth should be given unto your earth, and it should come through the Book with wings.” (Spiritual messengers of God, December 10, 1971)

“Prepare this Book with wings, that it may take flight upon thy earth.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, September 5, 1971). “We have told you before that a book that should come, the Book with Wings, we have told you it should not come forth as one book, but of many. We have told you before that it should come forth in many places, in many phrases, but in essence it should come forth as a new coveth [covenant] for this time.” (February 7, 1976) “Each book shall be part of a whole, and they shall be, all together, the Book with wings.” (May 11, 1979) See the BOOK with Wings at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078KJTP1F?binding=kindle_edition&searchxofy=true&ref_=dbs_s_aps_series_rwt_tkin&qid=1685886834&sr=8-1

“And remember, unto all, for our Father says unto thee, “HARK,” and hear our words. We have brought before thee the Book with wings.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, January 1, 1972)

“Harken on with the work that lays before you. Prepare the way. Bring forth this Book with wings. Let come forth the bird of the Great Pyramid. Let the knowledge flow upon your earth.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, January 5, 1973)

“We have given unto you the Book with wings, a new testament before God. Prepare a place within yourself that you may give it to others.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, March 30, 1973)

“For this Book is not a book for today or tomorrow, but the book you are providing shall lay forth before man for a thousand years, not as you count, but as our Father counts.” (Spiritual messengers of God, May 23, 1973)

John
A stairway to Heaven

Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, arrived in late March 1970, with a brilliant heavenly light. We are here...to prepare a way for the coming of the Messiah.
