The Fullness of the Gentiles
EOM Ida Mingle
Gentiles is interpreted to mean nations, a
collective body, the goi. Nations, universally, pertain to racial
groups, but individually to groups of consciousness, coordinated
to one. The One is Christ, the Spirit of God identified, to which
all the nations are gathered. These nations, individually, are
made up of the Twelve Tribes, ten of Israel and two of Judah. The
Twelve Tribes centralize as the Twelve Centers of Consciousness,
which embrace the spirits of the nations; thus, the gathering of
the entire consciousness of an individual to Christ is the
subjection of all national groups to Christ. Christ is the
mediator between God and man (humanity), therefore God rules the
nations through Christ. A consciousness, centralized to Christ,
the Spirit of God, has been progressed through all racial groups
and has attained to universality of being, through transcending
the forces of the world with the Qualities of Truth. Thus,
Christ, the Truth, rules the race through a consciousness
centralized to its Principles and Laws.
The Fullness of the Gentiles the Fullness of Christ
The fullness of the Gentiles reveals the
fullness of Christ. Many scriptural texts bear this out, the
scripture recorded in the Bible being the revelation of the Word,
in the degrees of Its unfoldment in consciousness attuned to Its
Principles and Laws. Thus, the old testament is devoted
principally to prophecy and vision, these being subconscious
activities revealing the fruit of the Plan to be later worked
out, though, primarily, the Plan is set forth in its science or
mathematics of Law. As consciousness progressed it was taught to
interpret the Divine Plan, first through prophecy and vision,
which acted as forerunner of what was to be. Eventually, the
being of the Plan worked out, the heavenly aspects opening in the
earth or consciousness, this revealing the knowing of the Plan
through its being. From this knowing the new covenant, with the
gospels and the fuller revelations of the Word, through the
identification of Christ, unfolded, finally setting forth the
book of Revelations, which is the science again, in figure of
words, of the fulfillment of the plan of the Word for mortality
and the establishment of immortality. The passover of the
covenant of God to the Gentiles at the first coming of Christ
assures the fullness of the Plan of God by means of the Gentiles.
Colossians 1:27 declares:
"To whom God was pleased to make
known what is the riches of the glory of the mystery
among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of
glory, whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and
teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present
every man perfect in Christ."
Jerusalem, the Principle of Divine Love, the
seat of the Mother Pole of God, that is one with the second
coming of Christ, scripture says, is to be trodden down of the
Gentiles, until the fullness of the Gentile comes, implying that
the projection of Christ's second coming is toward the Gentiles
by which that fullness, which is Christ in you, the hope of
glory, can be brought forth and declared. Since the Gentiles
greatly make up this collective body, and Christ gathers this
body at the second coming, these being individuals in virginal
attainment, though all members of each other, it is evident that
the fullness of the Gentiles brings forth the Body of Christ, and
that the fullness of that Body is in the Gentiles. For this
reason ten of the twelve tribes are gathered from the Gentiles,
and two from the Jews; though in reality the underlying current
of the Body of Christ is from the Hebrew racial strain, which as
Israel, is neither Jew nor Gentile, when perfected.
The fullness of Christ is the fulfillment of
the Law, yet not one jot or tittle of it shall pass until all be
fulfilled. Love is the fulfilling of the Law. Christ's second
coming is in the pre-eminence of the Principle of Love, though
Love is not without Wisdom in the Lord or in the Laws of God.
Love is the Feminine Pole of the Word, which as Christ, the
Bride, is joined with the Masculine Pole, Wisdom, the Bridegroom,
the two as one, completing the works of Christ by which law of
sin and death is fulfilled, and the Law of the Lord is
established. This is the establishment of immortality in which
the Law of the Lord can rule, because the Body of Christ, as the
many members of each other, has been identified as a kind of a
first fruit unto God and Christ, who act as the light of the
world, with Christ Consciousness, who is the Light of the world.
These two poles of Light, the Divine and the human, are the means
by which the kingdom of heaven is promoted in the earth. The
Gentiles to work out the fullness of Christ issue from the
Protestant current of religion. Why? Because this is the current
that promotes the teaching of every man attaining wisdom by which
he may become perfect in Christ. This teaching was carried
forward by the newer religious current the last century, and
which was preeminently Protestant in spirit. The Protestants
relate to the nations, that is to the scattered forces of Christ
in all, while the Catholic current of religion centralizes itself
to a given earthly head and a particular group.
The recognized head of Protestantism is Christ,
which all are expected to attain. While the old school of
religious thought developed this idea, the new schools of
religious thought was opened to work out the fact of perfection.
It was this group that awakened in spiritual understanding with
which was also the application of the idea, and by whom the
heavens and the earth were united as one. While it is evident
that one cannot attain to Christ, the Truth, and retain
allegiance to religious creeds, yet the preparatory teaching, by
which people could attain to Christ, the Truth, was diversified
and universalized, in contradistinction to the teaching of
Catholicism and Christian Science that centralizes to particular
heads and beliefs. The Catholic Church, founded upon the remnant
of Christ's first coming, is superseded by the Church of Christ,
at the second coming, this Church being made up of the Body of
Christ, of many members, who become the visible Hierarchy, in
reality, of which the Catholic Church has only been a symbol in
mortality. Thus Protestantism is seen to furnish the progressing
religious forces that sustain and support Christ's second coming,
though those attaining to Christ, the Truth, offer allegiance
only to the real church, that is, the capacity to worship God in
spirit and in truth; but these have come through the freedom of
the Protestant current, rather than through the clannishness of
either the Catholic or the Jewish current.
The Protestants teach the necessity of each
attaining unto salvation, and making connection with Jesus
Christ, the saving Principle God revealed. There was a time when
Protestantism was more in bigotry than today when it was thought
that to be a Christian, one had to be a Baptist or a Methodist,
but that tendency has greatly passed. But not so in the Catholic
group, for they still hold that to be a real Christian all must
be returned to the fold of Catholicism. The Protestant current of
religion does not make the showing in the world that Catholicism
does, but this showing of pomp and pageantry and religious power
was rebuked by Christ in the first coming, and is not to be
praised at this time. The Protestant current has been like the
Spirit of Christ, lost in the progression of the race, though
when the fullness of the Gentiles has come, in which the fullness
of Christ is to register, it is the Protestant current that is
free enough to permit egos to make union with Christ's Spirit, at
the second coming, without having to fight a church organization
that forbids it. Thus, the Gentiles, despised at the first coming
of Christ, and treated as dogs and heathens, are the means by
which the fullness of God is revealed at the end of mortality,
and the nations are subjected to the power and authority of the
Divine Will. However, it should be seen that those who make up
the first fruit of God and Christ, while having principally
coming through the Protestant current of religion, must have
entered into the spirit of the real Church, Christ within, in
order to be born of the Spirit and revealed as a child of God.
The Mystery of God Revealed in the Gentiles
The mystery of God to be worked out in the
Gentiles is refferred to in this scripture as follows:
"For I would not, brethren, have you
ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in our own conceits,
that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fullness
of the Gentiles be come in; and so all Israel shall be saved,
even as it is written: There shall come out of Zion the
Deliverer. He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob; and this is
my convenient unto them, when I shall take away their
sins
for ye in times past were disobedient to God, but now
have ye obtained mercy
"
The mystery of God to be worked out in the
Gentiles, as Christ's fullness, is the revelation of body,
restored to its right relation to the Divine Plan. Body is both
individual and universal. Universally, body is the nations,
though centered to the governmental groups of the nations.
Individually, body pertains to the organism of particular egos.
It is the body or early aspect of the Divine Plan that is worked
out at the second coming of Christ, though all relating to the
Spirit of heavens, and already worked out at the first coming of
Christ, is brought down to date at the second coming. The coming
of Christ is the projection from center to circumference of the
Qualities of Being gained. Center is individual and circumference
is racial, therefore the coming of Christ is the projection to
the race from individual center of the Qualities of Being gained,
which include the overcoming of the forces of the world, the
flesh, and the devil; all being subjected to the Principles and
Laws at work according to the status of advancement.
Hence, it is written:
"Behold, I come quickly, and render unto each man
according to his works."
The mystery of God is the revelation of
spiritual man. Spiritual man follows the natural in exact Law of
God. Spiritual man partakes of the nature of the Spirit. Spirit
is male and female in nature; therefore the first fruit of the
Spirit is virginal in character, meaning it is male-female in one
nature. The Laws of God, operative from Christ consciousness,
work out the first fruits, though the race is as soil to these
unfolding Seeds of God, hence, the race undergoes transition on
its bodily plane, that is governmental, at the time the Laws of
God are bringing forth their bodily results as the children of
God. These make up Israel, the 144,000 virgins who being freed
from lies indicate their identification in the masculine pole of
the Word, that is Wisdom; and not being defiled by women implies
their freedom from the sensations of the world that relate to the
sexual love, and their establishment in the Principle of Divine
Love. Wisdom and Love, as Male and Female Poles of the Word, act
as Father-Mother to give continuity of life and being to all who
are born of the Spirit and perfected in the Plan of God; though
this is attained first by Man and by Woman, through whom Christ
functions in the first and the second coming. The establishment
of this Parental Principle in the race, at the second coming of
Christ, is the fulfillment of the Creative Plan, by which the
race can be premised to laws and principles of Life and Being, as
God intended. These laws and principles identify racially as
scientific government, this being the revelation of the body of
the Word, racially and earthly. It is the revelation of
scientific government, by which ungodliness and sins, promoted in
mortality are brought to cessation. It is scientific government
that will provide a resting place for God and Christ; that is,
permit their qualities to unfold in consciousness, and by which
the people of God are identified. However, the people of God are
primarily Israel, and their revelation as the first fruits is
that by which the Plan of God is revealed to the race. Israel is
made up of those who have Christ, who have transcended the
currents of the race, both Jews and Gentiles. The belief that the
Jews represent Israel is a fallacy, developed from the knowledge
of the Old Testament and the disregard of Christ's first coming,
and the Passover of the Covenant of God to the Gentiles to fulfil
itself at the end of mortality.
The whole Christian world awaits the redemption
of the body. All the promises of God to be fulfilled pertain to
the bodily nature of man being conformed to the Laws of the
Spirit. The goal of the Creative Plan is that the Will of God be
done in the earth, or bodily plane, as it is in heaven, the plane
of the Spirit. It may be surprising to the Christian to perceive
the early revelation of the fulfillment of the Laws of God as
scientific government, though it is evident that unless an
earthly habitation be prepared in which the spiritually advanced
could live in keeping with the Wisdom and Love of God gained, the
Qualities of the Spirit would be without revelation in the body.
The spiritual body, when revealed is snow white in appearance,
and distinguishes the real white race centered to the White Ray
of the Word. This White Ray is Divine Light, the Truth, but it is
evident that the race, reborn from mortality to immortality could
not at once appear in its "garment of white."
The reborn race is only potentially established
in capacity of immortality, while those running ahead of the race
in spiritual advancement attain to the capacity of actual
immortality. These must go through a process of spiritual birth,
to be revealed in the body of white, which is the evidence of
freedom from sin, the law by which mortality has been promoted.
The mystery of God, revealed to the Gentiles and through them,
makes them the custodians of the race at the end of mortality,
though this is through spiritual appointment. While this centers
to Israel, the inner group, made up chiefly of Gentiles, who are
Protestant in spirit, for the Catholics and the Jews are central
and clannish in spirit. However, the Jews do not center to
Christ, though they have another opportunity, at the second
coming, to accept or to reject the Word and Its identification.
Jews and Gentiles who center to God and not to Christ are not
Christian in spirit, for it is Christ that makes the Qualities of
God actual in the life and through which the earth or bodily
plane is conformed to the heavens, the spiritual.
The Restoration of the Nations
Nations, as they appear racially, are
outpicturing of the groups of the race, according to the
unfoldment of the Intelligence of the Word. When the nations are
restored in individual consciousness to conform to the Principles
and Love of God, the outer nations are also ripe for restoration.
Not anything happens by chance, therefore what occurs in national
groups is also under the law that governs racial progression,
though it is not until the identification of Christ, in which are
the Laws of God in function and action, that all things are
universally conformed to the Plan of God. Revelations given in
1922, relative to the second coming of Christ now working out,
showed that all nations are to be changed, though the United
States was to endure a cleansing in order to bring forth its true
spirit. This is the change incidental to translating the mortal
to the immortal forces, for the immortal is not the mortal, but
all is changed through the law of transposition. While this law
is operative in Christs, it reflects itself to the race,
inducing the changes that occur in national groups.
The conflict between the forces of darkness and
those of the light at the end of mortality is one means by which
the agitation necessary is set up, by which spirit and matter are
transposed to substance. The first heavens and the first earth
pass away; that is, the first spirit and the first matter or
bodily elements, and out of their mixture in agitation and
conflict, the spiritual substance is formed from which the
immortal order is fashioned. However, the outer conflict is an
objectification of the inner one, the War in Heaven, that takes
place between the qualities that relate to the Divine Love and
Law, and those relating to the serpent or forces developed in the
senses. It is the War in Heaven that precipitates the outer
conflict, though outer conditions appear as offences by which
light and darkness are made to agitate against each other to
furnish the contrariety of function that aids in producing the
essences and forces of reality. The Gentiles undergo as much
translation as the Jews at the end of mortality, but both act as
agents by which agitation is stirred up to aid in transposing the
forces of the world from the animal to the human qualities. The
spiritual qualities are necessarily resident in those in
allegiance to the Spirit, these transcending the race and aiding
in modifying the oppositional forces of the race by introducing
the Light of the Spirit into the world. Thus it is impossible for
those adhering in the Spirit of Christ to be spared the
tribulation of the world at mortality's end, for if they could be
separated from the forces of the world, the world could be
separated from the forces of Christ, the Truth, and would not
receive the Light. Therefore, those in the Light partook of the
forces of the darkness that those in the darkness may partake of
the forces of Light. This is a part of the Cross of Christ that
those serving Christ bear, though the seat of spiritual sacrifice
and service is in the consciousness of Christ, the Truth, and is
borne by the Messianic character in whom the Word is functioned.
One can read the signs of the times though one
cannot foresee the extent of the action of the Divine Laws on the
outer domain, until they have acted; though only by knowing the
inner plan outworking can the outer be related. For this reason,
people judging by the appearances blame outer things for outer
changes. Outer things do serve a purpose in developing either the
light or the darkness, but the things of Satan move only
according to the movement of the things of Christ, and Christ
does only what He sees the Father doing. This is to say that the
movement of the Divine Laws, as they operate from God is
functioned by Christ, and this movement is reflected in the world
which is under the rulership of Satan. However, since the world
is opposite to the earth that complements heaven, the movement of
the forces of the world is opposite to Christ - hence is in
antichrist. For this reason, the movements of nations at the end
of mortality to form a collective body have their impetus from
the movement of God to form the Body of Christ; but the
collective body formed in the world is antichrist and opposed to
the Plan of God for the race. The collective body of the world,
formed under Satan, which has its impetus in the activities of
mortal mind, is the various forms of collectivism posing under
the guise of Socialism. This is the attempt of materialists to
lump all people of a national group under one head, a dictator,
who attempts to ape the dictatorial Powers of God that operate
through Christ. Thus four dictatorial heads have arisen in the
nations to date, one in Russia, two in Europe and one in the
United States. However, the dictatorial head that has arisen in
the United States has many horns, that posing as brain-trusts,
impose their intellectually and materially conceived ideas of
government upon all the people, seeking to turn the Republic of
the United States government into a democracy. Democracy comes
from the same root word as demon; hence the materialists who work
to complete the material world, reaching its height in the United
States, are the demons at work to do the works of Satan, at the
time Christ is doing the work of God.
Materialism reaches its height in the United
States only because it is the nation to come first under the Laws
of God, to be born in immortality. Being the new thing of
nations, the United States carries to its height the forces of
the old civilization, though it was only through introducing its
new spirit into the old world the last several years that it
actively took on the materialism of the world to bring it to
fruition. This materialism has encroached upon the government of
the United States since the World War, the entrance of our nation
into this War being the means by which the intrigue and political
trickery of Europe introduced itself into our affairs. The New
Deal Administration is the epitome of this political intrigue,
though posing as a savior to the race, the promoter of the
"more abundant life," and the upholder of humanity, all
of which are the lies of demons to hide their own tendencies to
collect the United States, as a nation, into National-Socialism
and World Federation of Nations.
There is no need for the people of the United
States to seek out the beast of Europe or to acclaim him, for the
beast reaches its height of power in our own country, though
necessarily this is the nicest sort of animal, born of women, the
material man at his height of development. The height of
materiality is not the low materiality that is found in Europe
and Asia. Material man is personality. Personality is opposite to
Principle. Personality seeks to have its will regardless of
constitutional laws or the privileges guaranteed the people of
the Republic of the United States. However, the high materiality
of the United States has been well promoted under Republican
leadership since the days of Lincoln, but it remained for the
Demagogues to put the finishing touches to the gathering of
Babylon, though posing as saving powers, while destroyers. This
is the character of that beast that is a dragon but appears as a
lamb, referred to in Revelation. The lamb is the character of
advancing humanity and divine innocence, but the dragon is the
epitome of self will and thought, developed in the mind of the
flesh that is death promotive. It is a scientific principle that
where materiality reaches its height, there is the corresponding
height of spirituality, therefore the United States, as a nation,
houses the consciousness of Christ, the Truth, being that western
nation that functions Christ's second coming. But this does not
mean that one functioning spirituality is functioning materiality
at the same time, though in Christ, all is controlled to the
Truth, and the darkness is understood because it is overcome.
The national consciousness of the nation to
function Christ would be in an opposite position to Christ, even
though the consciousness of Christ was working out in that
nation. This is the contrariety required in the Divine Law
whereby opposition is utilized to give formation to the substance
of being, the mothering quality of the New Order. It is also in
keeping with this law that when the fullness of the Gentiles is
to work out in the United States, in which Christ is centered,
that the opposite force of the Gentiles, the Jews, would attempt
to control the affairs of government. This accounts for more Jews
identified in the New Deal administration than in previous
administrations of government. It also accounts for the exposure
of the false teaching of the Jews, that they are Israel, though
this false teaching has also been entertained by Gentiles in the
belief that the Jews are a chosen people. How could people who
rejected Christ, the manifestation of God among men, be the
chosen people of God? They could be chosen in the Law to reap the
fruit of their rejection, if not offset by understanding and love
of the Truth, but they are not chosen to be the fruits of Christ
when in the rejection of Christ. It is Israel that is chosen, and
Israel is the manifested result of the Hebrew current that
preceded both the Jews and the Gentiles, and of which Christ is
the direct offspring, with those who are Christ's making up the
Nations of God that are chosen as the Twelve Tribes. The Twelve
Tribes are a spiritual fruit for they are Israel, that is, the
realities of being aggregated in states of being. The Laws of
God, operative from Christ, to bring forth these states of being,
also identifies the science of State to be established in the
national group of the United States. Hence, the science of
government is of the Lord, the Love of God in application to the
life of man, and is not something concocted by the minds of
mortals.
The science of government to indicate the
beginning of the kingdom of heaven in the earth is the science of
Life and Being. This is to say, that the Laws of God, operative
to bring forth a state of being, as Christ consciousness, reveal
the Pattern or Type after which all are to be fashioned. Yet,
immediately Christ is fulfilled in the Gentiles, the fulfillment
being the objection of both Man and Woman to the Laws of God
(Lord), the Plan of God is universalized, and this reveals itself
as the Science of Government or State. It is at the time of the
outworking of the Universal Plan of God that nations attempt to
universalize themselves as a collective group, losing
individuality in the interests of the federation of nations. But
no individual can become universal until individualized in
conformity to the Laws of Being; therefore, no nation can become
universalized until individualized or nationalized. The
individuality of the United States has never been identified. We
are a conglomeration of all nationalities, and until the spirit
of Americanism is established, we have not become a United State.
In reality, the United States of America is dependent for its
establishment upon the identification of the United State of AM,
this being the union of Man and Woman as the US of the Creative
Plan. This is to say that when Americanism, resting upon AM is
identified in the United States, it is established through the
authority of "God with US," or the fuller works of
Christ. That the antichrist forces would encompass us, forcing
our ascension in conformity to the Plan of God for this nation,
is quite in keeping with the necessity of the Law of Duality, but
this is not to say that those who have Christ and the Light of
Humanity bow down before the adversaries; or submit to their
effort to get the gains of mortality for themselves and their
socialistic clique.
Nations are undergoing changes today. The
european civilization that is diversified must become centralized
while the United States, diversified in its material development
must become centralized to its real character and government.
Then two poles, equal but opposite, will enter the circle of the
Divine Will, in their orders of unfoldment, and the nations of
the world will be forced to pattern themselves after the Ensign
Nation, raised in the Will of God, as the United States. For this
reason, isolation from the european matters is now in order, we
having entered the mixture in the World War that made us inherit
the materialism of the world at a time we were destined to
function the spiritual; or rather, that the spiritual was
destined to function in the United States as the US of the
Creative Plan. The arising of the aliens, the subversives, the
un-American and the non-Christians, to usurp to material ends the
destiny of the United States is the usual showing of darkness
that asserts itself at the ends of cycles, when the Light must
establish itself. The darkness is used to cause Light to be
formed, though the movement of Light to form itself causes the
darkness to come to the surface to be destroyed. This is the
case, both on the individual and universal planes of expression.
The unfoldment of a national group, in keeping with the Divine
Laws, follows the plan of the unfoldment of an individual, by
which the twelve centers of consciousness, as nations, are
established. All opposed to the destiny of the United States must
arise to be destroyed, though the destroyer always seeks to
destroy the works of Christ, but this is only to force the
ascendancy of those in the Light and the Truth, and the
expression of their services, in favor of God and humanity.
Compensation and Retribution
It is at the end of mortality that the Law of
Compensation and Retribution fulfils itself, for the fullness of
the Gentiles reveals the fruit of God and Christ in the nations,
or on the plane of the race. Compensation is constructive while
Retribution is destructive. The Divine Laws, as the Lord, control
both light and darkness, rendering to each according as it
measures. Yet, the meting to consciousness of the equivalent of
what it has meted is not unjust but an act of justice.
Individuals invite the equivalent of their state of consciousness
in the path of living, though being made up of a mixture of
forces until Truth is attained, may not always be able to account
for the effects that come into their lives. Yet, an exact law
operates, measuring good for good, and evil for evil; light for
light, and darkness for darkness. Each reaps as he sows. Nations,
the aggregation of individuals, come under the Judgment of the
Divine Laws at the end of mortality, each reaping as it has sown,
or according to the dominancy of the character of the national
group.
Judgment is the Law of measuring according to
the measure of development, hence is principled expression (and
not personal) in action. Egos, who have judged themselves by
overcoming darkness with light, and evil with good, so as to
attain to the dominancy of Light by which the Laws of God can
project their influences into the consciousness, are ripe for
compensation, as well as to become heirs with Christ to inherit
the good, prepared by God, from the foundation of the world.
Those who inhere in the love of the darkness, because their
hearts are evil, necessarily invite the retribution of the Divine
Laws that prove up the cycle of good and evil, rendering to each
according to his or her works or state of development. It is only
through individually or nationally seeking a fuller light and
promoting a fuller love that the law of Karma is modified, and
one's reward or retribution is changed. Many the last century,
ascending into a fuller understanding of life and being, though
not attained to the fullness of Light and Truth, have modified
the results to be received at the end of mortality, though all
have been given a chance to shorten their time in the flesh by
the introduction of the Divine Intelligence and Love. The race is
not proved at the end of the cycle of mortality, without the
Divine Laws introducing their standards to which people are
expected to be conformed. The judgment of the Divine Laws marks
the time of graduation from mortality to immortality; or the
return to the mortal elements of another planet, where the forces
in union with the darkness can have another unfoldment in
darkness and chaos, or another chance to attain to the Light.
Each ego is proved, at the end of mortality, by the spiritual
light and truth that enters the race, or by the material
advancement, as to the nature of the developed Intelligence and
Love; and thus invites his or her compensation or retribution,
according to an exact science.
