Dear Guardian AKA Prof. Pepe,
I would like to thank you very much for your letter of Oct. 22, 1985. It came at a time that we greatly needed it, and it was of utmost importance. We gathered that the “blood” represented the blood line of the Davidic kings passed down from the male (sperm) descendants of King David seated on the throne, to the last one of that line of the tribe of Judah to sit upon the throne: ‘Abdu’l-Baha. It was then transferred to His “Dear son” Mason Remey, your father, a Gentile. The “hair” represents the head, indicating that his son Mason, or one of his descendants was to be the head of the Universal House of Justice and thus the first guardian of the Baha’i faith.
This also proves the adoption of Mason Remey by ‘Abdu’l-Baha. According to the Palestinian Law of the Ottoman Empire at the time that Abdu’l-Baha adopted Mason, and according to the British law of Palestine, and now the Israeli law:
“If he rears a child for the Glory of God [Baha’u’llah], the child is certainly to be regarded as his child and not only in lineage, but even where the child has parents and is being brought up by a stranger as a meritorious act, if the latter has no children and is bringing the child up to be his son to succeed him and they address each other as father and son” (p. 427,Selective Judgments of the Supreme Court of Israel–see #16 of exhibits enclosed).
1
Also when a man leaves an inheritance, even if it is a stone or a marker, to one he calls his son or daughter, in the Israeli law this confers upon him or her succession rights. As “of all the remnants of Baha’u’llah’s all-Sacred Person, the most hallowed, the most precious,” was delivered into the hands of your father Mason Remey, he then inherited the right to the kingdom of his father, ‘Abdu’l-Baha. All that was left to be done to be in accordance with the Sacred Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Baha and to be the succeeding guardian was to be appointed during the lifetime of Shoghi Effendi.
The above conditions also apply to you. As you were adopted by Mason Remey to be his son for the purpose of succession and you inherited the drops of blood (bloodline) and the hair (the head), and as you were appointed by Mason during his lifetime to succeed him in the guardianship, only you could be the guardian. All others are phonies. There is just one guardian at a time, and you are that guardian whether you admit it or not, whether you prefer it, or whether you prefer not to be called guardian and prefer rather to be called Professor Pepe. There is no one else that we can turn to as guardian and we will not be without our guardian. This is our God-given right, Don’t try to deprive us of this right for it grieves us very much that you reject us. All that you need now is the body, for you need us as much as we need you. That is, the head cannot function without a body and a body cannot function without a head.
I just received a copy of the letter that you wrote to Amy Krueger, a very dear soul. I taught the whole body to be firm in the Covenant and to love the guardian. She was very hurt that you rejected her. She was fortunate enough, due to a will, to be able to visit Europe. So I commissioned her to be my envoy to bring to you a most great gift, second only to your inheritance of the throne of David. This gift I didn’t want to trust to the mail where it could have become lost. To say the }east I was very, very much dismayed that you turned her away. And what was more perplexing to me were the reasons that you gave.
You stated:
“….evidently these new ‘converts’ desire to enjoy the presence of the ‘Guardian’ hoping to derive some spiritual enlightenment from the contact or at least to come away with a spiritually strengthened conviction which might serve to further stimulate their enthusiasm to go forth and face the battle Dr. Jensen has inspired or infused in their souls.”
This is not the case. It is the other way around. Amy Krueger is already a very spiritual person and highly spiritually enlightened with a very strong spiritual conviction, and she wanted to share this and her enthusiasm with you so that you could infuse this into your soul. She was very delighted that I had chosen her, because of her spiritual qualities, to present you with this most precious gift that I entrusted her with.
I also have been planning on giving you another gift, probably the most important in your whole lifetime, for the first two would be of no importance without it. Therefore there are some very important things we need to go over, such as one of the reasons you
2
gave for refusing to see Amy. You said you:
“…haven’t aligned yourself with any of the groups,” as there are “several groups under the Banner of Baha’u’llah – claiming defense of the institution of the Guardianship; each in terms of its own. Under moral and spiritual obligation to Mason Remey’s Memory, my dedication to that (his) purpose prevents me from pledging allegiance to any one specific group, convinced that eventually a general reconciliation will come about.”
We don’t like to be called a group any more than you like to be called the guardian. If anyone is dedicated to the memory of Mason Remey, we are, as Mason was dedicated to the provisions of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s Sacred Will and Testament which is the Charter of the World Order of Baha’u’llah. If the groups and you were dedicated to the Will and Testament, then true reconciliation would come about, for there can be no reconciliation by any other criteria. The criteria in the Will and Testament are two in number: 1) The reigning guardian must appoint his successor during his lifetime; and 2) The one that is appointed must be a son (Aghsan), a descendant of King David. So it is evident that either you or I have a grave misunderstanding of the entire process and it is imperative, for the good of the faith and the establishment of the Kingdom, that this is cleared up.
When I was with the Guardian in Washington in the Spring of ’61, he told me that Shoghi Effendi had initiated a test (a sting operation). He appointed his successor by appointing him the head of the embryonic UHJ, as the head of the UHJ is the guardian. He said to me that those that had passed this test, and when this test was over, the people would never again try to do away with the guardianship. He continued this test, but had to abandon it and proclaim himself for the safety of the faith, when they did away with the International Baha’i Council.
Then he told me that there was going to be another sting operation (test): That when he passed on, those that had passed the first test would know that there was a successor, but they wouldn’t know who he was. Then he reestablished the administration, and a National Spiritual Assembly. He appointed a number of people to be his successor in the guardianship by various means and methods, such as by establishing the second International Baha’i Council, with him being the head and all the members being vice-presidents. The highest on the list to survive a common catastrophe, which he wouldn’t survive, that vice-president would then be the succeeding guardian.
Anybody that knew the Will and Testament would know that this was a hoax. To be a succeeding guardian, he would not only have to be appointed by the guardian during his lifetime, but he would also have to be an Aghsan (a Branch).
This Council had to be aborted because of the strife among the vice-presidents. Then he set up another council. This time they were elders, with Mason being the Lamb, and with the surviving elder nearest the top of the list to be his successor. This was a setup. He was giving them what they wanted, to satisfy their starved egos. Then he sent some of them personal letters, like Donald Harvey and Joel Marangella, to further bait them, telling them that they were to
3
succeed him in the guardianship. Their ambition and self-importance blinded them from checking it out with the Will and Testament. There they would have found that they couldn’t be a succeeding guardian without being a descendant of King David.
The trouble was that the Baha’i World didn’t understand the Baha’i Revelation or religion in general, as did I, Charles Gaines, and Mason Remey. These sting operations were of the essence. Somewhere along the line you lost your faith. In your letter to Jean Miller in 1974 you wrote: “So……I gave up and ‘lost my Faith’. . . . .that is, my faith in what we were doing. . . .and then finally in what Mason was doing. I told him that I could never abandon him as a friend and as a man but that I would no longer serve him as Guardian. This is how we lived together since around 1965.”
Then in 1966 he really went deep into his sting operation. He dissolved that National Spiritual Assembly, something he had been threatening to do even when I was on that assembly. He had allowed Rex King to expand his power and Satanic endeavors over the mass of the believers in the guardianship. Then he took that assembly that Rex controlled, away from him. I have more to say on this assembly later on in this letter.
Then he deepened the sting operation to its very depth by expelling the Imam administration out of the Baha’i faith. This act caused almost all the believers to cast doubts about Mason’s sanity. This gave Rex King just the fodder he needed gather the believers more securely under his leadership. I have more to say on this administration later on.
Then Mason appeared to bad-mouth Shoghi Effendi, whereas this bad- mouthing was actually about those who had leadership roles under Shoghi Effendi’s guardianship.
Almost all got caught up in this sting operation except myself and the true twenty-four elders. These elders are those that came out of the violation of Shoghi Effendi’s administration along with Mason Remey, after it had been taken over by the hands. They did not get sucked into any of the groups supporting fictitious guardians. Some of these elders are known now, such as Ethel May Crane, Dr. Opal Jensen and Charles Gaines. The rest of them will be known as this whole process unfolds. They will fall down before him who is seated upon the throne and before the Lamb (Rev. 4:10 and 5:8).
You say that there are other groups that believe in the continuation of the guardianship, and that that is all that is necessary. But this is not so. They went a whoring after other guardians while Mason was still alive, thus separating themselves from the guardian and the Baha’i faith, and not only that, but from God:
“….whoso deviateth, separateth himself and turneth aside from him (the guardian) hath in truth deviated, separated himself and turned aside from God. May the wrath, the fierce indignation, the vengeance of God rest upon him! The mighty stronghold shall remain impregnable and safe through obedience to him who is the guardian of the Cause of God” (W&T p. 11).
4
There is no disunity or disharmony in the Baha’i faith. Those that failed the test are no longer in the Baha’i Faith, and they are in disunity. The Covenant-breaker, Adib Taherzadeh, in his book ‘The Revelation of Baha’u’llah,’ verbalizes this process very well:
“A careful study of the lives and teachings of the founders of great religions will demonstrate that one of the functions of the Manifestations of God has always been to explain the meaning and purpose of His Revelation and to solve any difficult problem which perplexes the minds of His followers. Baha’u’llah and ‘Abdu’l-Baha were always ready to answer questions asked by the believers. These range from weighty subjects down to various minor details dealing with every aspect of the Revelation of Baha’u’llah. Indeed, great portions of the writings of Baha’u’llah and ‘Abdu’l-Baha were written in response to these questions. They interpreted the scriptures of the past, explained many of their abstruse passages and statements, elucidated divine mysteries, expounded the teachings of God for this age, delineated the features of a New World Order and gave the details of the laws and ordinances of Baha’u’llah.
“However, on the subject of succession They remain silent and only at the end of Their lives did They disclose the identity of Their successors. There are many wisdoms in this. Such an action may be likened to that of a teacher who is always ready to answer questions and help his pupils solve their problems. Only on one occasion does he remain silent and refrain from helping them, namely, on the day of examination. On that day the students alone will have to find the answers. It is their test and it is also the day of separation. Those who pass are elevated to the higher class and those who fail are not.
“The history of the Faith demonstrates that the Covenant has always provided the testing-ground for the believers. The Bab gave the glad tidings of the appearance of ‘Him Whom God shall make manifest’ but did not explicitly disclose the identity of Baha’u’llah. Baha’u’llah established a mighty Covenant appointing ‘Abdu’l-Baha as the Center of that same Covenant but kept this appointment a well-guarded secret until shortly before His ascension, He handed the Kitab-i-‘Ahd (Book of the Covenant) to ‘Ahdu’l-Baha. This document, in terms of the above analogy, became the examination paper for the entire body of Baha’u’llah’s followers. Some passed and others failed the test. Similarly, the Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Baha in which Shoghi Effendi was appointed the guardian of the Baha’i Faith was kept secret. It was after His passing that this document was read. Again this produced tests for the believers. Some who had ambitious ideas and a lust for leadership opposed Shoghi Effendi as the Guardian of the Faith. These men tried very hard to create divisions within the Cause But one of the distinguishing features of the Faith is that although many outstanding followers of Baha’u’llah. broke the Covenant and arose, with every means at their disposal, to create schism in the Faith, they failed to bring this about. The Covenant of Baha’u’llah triumphed and those that opposed it perished and were brought to naught” (pp 136-137).

Although Taherzadeh knew the importance to seek and follow the successors of the faith, and to know and follow the Covenant and Will and Testament, when it came his turn to be tested he neither sought nor went by the provisions of the Will and Testament, but followed his cronies, the ‘hands of the Faith’ into the great violation. When a teacher teaches a course he continually stresses the central theme, in this case it was the continuation of the guardianship forever. So when this test came it counted for 100% of the grade. Thus the mass of the believers flunked this test.
The second test did not repeat the first test. It was not a test on whether there was or was not a guardian, or to believe in the continuation of the guardianship, but was a test on whether they really believed in the provisions of the Will and Testament concerning the criteria for the succession, which were two in number. The succeeding guardian had to be a son, and he had to be appointed by the living guardian during his lifetime. It was just that simple. It was just as easy as falling off a log. No true believer should have failed that test, but fail they did: “may the wrath and the fierce indignation of God rest upon them for they separated themselves from the living guardian and from God” (W&T, p. 11). All the trouble in the Baha’i Faith and in the world comes from the violation of the Covenants that God has made with man.
One of the underlying reasons that the sting operations were able to be successful was the administration. Many followers were under the impression that it was saved, that it was the Baha’iadministration. The fact was that there was no Baha’i administration. Many of the believers spent much of their Baha’i lives trying to get higher positions, or to get in control of that administration, believing that it was going to rule the world. So God let the Covenant-breaking hands and those that were in high positions get control of that administration. They threatened the rank and file believers with expulsion and excommunication if they didn’t go along with the hands’ takeover, or even if they talked about the continuation of the guardianship or in any way associated with anyone that the hands designated Covenant-breaker; and the whole Baha’i world acquiesced.
To a certain extent the administration played a leading role in the second sting operation. When Mason expelled it, Rex and others spread it around that Mason had lost his marbles, and if something wasn’t done Mason would destroy the Baha’i faith. For example Mary Magdalene Wilkins told me that Mason expelled it because he was in that Catholic retreat and he received the evil vibrations there, causing him to do this. She actually didn’t believe Mason when he explained that it was actually a Babi administration. The believers became followers of false guardians, such as Joel and Rex, because they continued the administration. And today Donald Harvey (I hear) believes that those in Haifa sometime will see the light and establish him at the head of their organization (administration).
How did Shoghi Effendi get to be guardian? He is not an Aghsan (a sperm descendant of King David). His mother was ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s daughter and his father was an Afnan. a collateral relative of the Bab, a descendant of Mohammed. ‘Abdu’l-Baha didn’t adopt him, therefore he could not and did not sit on David’s throne.
6
‘Abdu’l-Baha appointed Shoghi Effendi guardian of the Cause of God so he would use the Imam administration, which he was entitled to use as an Afnan and an Imam, to carry out the Divine Plan left him by ‘Abdu’l-Baha. This Babi administration was to be used as the main part of the sting operation: carried out first by Shoghi Effendi and later by Mason Remey; and then it was to be discarded.
All the above has been a mystery and is the main cause of confusion in the Baha’i world. The explanation of this mystery has been very well explained in a manuscript entitled “Shoghi Effendi’s Big Sting” by Dr. Trevor Stanwick. A copy is enclosed. Dr. Stanwick is a Ph.D. in Microbiology He taught Microbiology and did research in AIDS, herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases at various medical schools and universities, such as The Chicago Medical College and the University of Montana. He quit his job several years ago so that he could devote his entire time to research and writing booklets, papers and manuscripts for the Baha’i Faith. This enclosed manuscript will be published in a book of nine authors.
Anita Coryell will be the editor of this book. She came into the faith in a symposium I gave that was attended mostly by school teachers, held in Greenbriar, Arkansas, in February of 1978. After that, she and her husband, and her sister and her husband moved to Missoula where they became very active and dedicated to Baha’i faith under the Provisions of the Covenant. She has a degree in Education from Rutgers University in New Jersey and she received a Master’s degree here at the University of Montana (UM) in Missoula. About a year ago she moved to Boulder, Colorado where she became employed as an assistant editor for a large Publishing House. They publish a number of multi-author books. Anita is going to have this nine-author book published, giving us our first Baha’i book.
The Baha’i Faith under the Provisions of the Covenant has grown so rapidly. Thousands have been taught. A large number of highly gifted people are now spreading the faith in groups and communities all over America.
Jo York, coming from Minneapolis, became a Baha’i here about seven years ago. She completed her B.A. in journalism here at the UM and now is about to receive her Master’s in interpersonal communication. For the last several years she has been teaching public speaking at the UM. She is also now interning in T.V. journalism at KPAX, The News Station. She taught me computers and she helps me in editing. She is applying for another internship at channel 9 in Seattle, where they make documentaries. When she completes her Master’s and her internships she is hoping to move to Sydney, Australia, where she would like to work for ABC.
We are now beginning to get some good press, I will go into that more later an in this letter.
Now we take up the subject: just why did Mason choose you to be his successor in the guardianship? In your letter to Jean in ’74 you wrote: “….I knew next to nothing of the Faith.” Around that time you wrote me, saying that before Mason passed on, all of the Baha’is deserted him and those that were left, you could count on the fingers of one hand. With the passing of Mason the believers that were with him did not accept you as his successor. Even you did not accept yourself or your role as the guardian. You directed the
7
believers to turn to Donald Harvey. The Baha’i faith then came to an end, The body of believers ceased to exist. They ceased to believe in the Provisions of God’s (‘Abdu’l-Baha’s) Sacred Will and Testament. Why? Because the Guardian, Mason Remey, tested the believers to the utmost limits by choosing you to be his successor–someone that knew next to nothing of the Baha’i faith; And you didn’t want to know. You refused to be considered for the role of the succeeding guardian because you didn’t want to assume the responsibility of that office, as you said in your letter to Jean: “…for I absolutely refused even to consider that responsibility.” Even today you refuse to assume that role and say that it is improper for the believers to address you as guardian, so that you can keep your own equilibrium. So you see, Pepe, you inadvertently became the cause of all the believers in the second sting operation to fail their test; thus you brought about all the confusion that you blame everybody else for. Mason intended for it to be that way.
The believers then, in looking for the succeeding guardian because of the above, invented a criteria other than that of the Sacred Will for the recognition of the successor. They started to look for the one who had the most charisma, or someone that had been in the faith all his life, like Joel, or one who could best lead the faith, or one that the guardian wrote a personal letter to appointing him to be the successor guardian, like the ones that he wrote to Joel Marengella and to Donald Harvey, etc. No one wanted a know-nothing, indifferent, do-nothing person’ to be guardian. So they completely disregarded the Provisions of the Sacred Will or to become informed by it. Mason wanted it that way, whether it was unbeknown to you or not. Mason knew the faith. and he knew it well.. He knew exactly what his role was and what he was doing.
But, with no Baha’i Faith (no longer any believers–no ‘body,’ and a comatosed head), the Faith was dead. There was nothing left but just various bunches of Covenant-breakers. What does this all mean? Does the whole world come to an end and everybody goes to hell? No, not at all. God, before this operation began, had provided a safety net so that this sting operation could go all the way to a complete conclusion, for in His plan He had already provided for an establisher to establish the Kingdom of God upon the throne of David. For Baha’u’llah said if the Baha’is railed, God would raise up an entire knew creation. ‘Abdu’l-Baha said: “O ye spiritual Friends! Firmness must reach a degree that if all the souls (Baha’is) be destroyed by evil wishers and there remain but one, that one singly and alone should be capable of withstanding ail who live on earth, and of spreadi ng the fragrance of holiness.” (‘Abdu’l-Baha– Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha).
In fact all the people failed the test except there was one person, in fact two persons that still believed. These were the two knights of the Lord. One of them is the knight on the white horse, prophesied to come in the 6th and 19th chapters of the book of Revelation. In the 6th chapter he has the bow in his hand. The bow is the sign of the Covenant (Gen. 9:13). ‘Abdu’l-Baha said that the knights would establish the kingdom. Shoghi Effendi chose, from among the 5 or 6 million Baha’is, about 150 people of whom he knighted as knights of Baha’u’llah. These were the only ones ever
8
knighted into the Baha’i faith; there were never any before or after, However, al} of the knights but two have either died off or have been removed from the Baha’i religious faith for Covenant-breaking by the guardian, Mason Remey, in his third encyclical letter. If you will remember one of these knights wrote you a letter in December of 1973 in answer to the letter that Mason had you write to my wife. In that letter she confirmed that Mason was that King seated upon the Throne. These two knights also knew that you were the crown prince, appointed by the King to succeed him on that throne. When ‘Abdu’l-Baha stated that the knights would establish the Cause of God, he was referring to these two knights that passed ail the tests.
All of God’s Revelations have had an establisher. Enoch established the Revelation of Adam, Of the nine Manifestations of the Adamic cycle, three of them are Universal Manifestations. These three are Adam, Jesus and Baha’u’llah. Enoch brought Adam’s Revelation to America. He visited South, Central and ‘forth America. To the Hopi Indians he gave, to the Fire-clan, a stone tablet with designs on it. He then broke off a corner and said that when he returned he would have the cornerstone. I have that cornerstone.
Paul established the Christian religion. He brought it to the Gentiles. Joshua established the Revelation of Moses. ‘Abdu’l-Baha said in the book ‘Some Answered Questions,’ that the fifth angel, “Ali was the same as that of Joshua” (p 59). Then he tells us that the sixth angel, Janabi Quddus, was the establisher of the Babi revelation: “…one the founder and the other the Promoter–arose” (p 64). Then he tells us that the seventh angel will establish the Baha’i faith. He wrote:
“The seventh angel is a man qualified with heavenly attributes, who will arise with heavenly qualities and character. Voices will be raised, so that the appearance of the Divine Manifestation will be proclaimed and diffused” (p 66).
In the book ‘Baha’u’llah and the New Era’ (BNE), in the chapter of the “Prophecies of Baha’u’llah and ‘Abdu’l-Baha,” under the subtitle of the ‘Coming of the Kingdom of God,’ ‘Abdu’l-Baha tells us that the establisher of the Baha’i Revelation will fulfill the prophecy of Daniel 12:12. Daniel} states of the 1335 days, or years: “Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days” or years. ‘Abdu’l-Baha said the 1335 years begin with the victory of Muhammad, or at the beginning of the Muhammadan Era in 628 AD; 628+1335=1963. Dr. Esselmont (the author of£ BNE) goes on and states: “‘Abdu’l-Baha’s Tablets make it clear that the prophecy refers to the one-hundredth anniversary Or the Declaration of Baha’u’llah in Baghdad, or the year of 1963” (p 303 of the the Thirteenth Printing, March 1953, of BNE). In this same chapter, ‘Abdu’l-Baha tells us the purpose of the coming of this promised one is to establish the Kingdom:
“All the people of the world will become believers…. Unquestionably, al, will come under the shadow of the Cause of God.”- Star of the West, vol. ix p. 31.
9
“This Century is the Century of the Sun of Truth. This Century is the Century of the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth” Star of the West, vol ix p. 7.
Baha’u’llah began His Proclamation on the 21st day of April, 1863. Exactly 100 years later, on the first day of Ridvan, April 21, 1963, Rex King began his attack On me. He attended the Feast of Ridvan on that day in Santa Fe, New Mexico with the Baha’is of Santa Fe and those that were beginning to arrive for the convention to elect the first National Spiritual Assembly (NSA) under Mason Remey’s Guardianship. It was later conveyed to me that he had shown the friends a number of letters from Mason, of which Rex explained that Mason was grooming him to be the next guardian, and they all began by kissing butt, so to speak. It was related to me much later that he very badly bad-mouthed me. This was to such an extent that when I arrived several days later many of the Baha’i friends that I grew up with and a number of Baha’is that I had brought into the faith no longer would speak to me. He so campaigned against me and for himself before the election, so that he received the largest number of votes, and he so bad-mouthed me that I tied for 9th place. In a runoff I was elected by a one vote margin. I wasn’t campaigning or running for anything and it didn’t matter to me whether I was or was not elected or appointed to anything.
Then the battle was on. Rex opposed me only for one reason. I was a Knight of Baha’u’llah and he knew of the prophecy of ‘Abdu’l-Baha that the knights would establish the Kingdom. I never told anybody about this, but it was pretty well known among the believers. He wanted to get rid of me as I was a threat to his Satanic scheme. He used his position of secretary on that assembly to carry out his evil plan of wrenching the guardianship out of the hands or Mason Remey. I was battling against his attempt to take the control of the Baha’i faith as Horace Holly did, and against his attempt to take over the guardianship. Thus I began my ministry as the establisher of the Kingdom of Baha’u’llah on the date given by Daniel the prophet, and as explained by ‘Abdu’l-Baha and Dr. Esselmont.
In addition to the above, Mason undoubtedly knew that the Lamb would establish the Kingdom, as he told Donald that he was the Lamb. He wrote: “The Second Guardian of the Baha’i Faith, Charles Mason Remey, wishes to announce to the world the appointment of the first five Elders of the Baha’i Epoch, they are as follows:” and then he names five people, with Donald heading the list. The important part of this announcement was that these were to be the first five elders of the Baha’i epoch.
Whereas the Baha’i writings have stated that the Bab and the eighteen letters of the living were the first nineteen Elders of the Baha’i faith, and that five more were to appear. However The Bab and – the Letters of the Living were not Baha’is. They were all martyred before Baha’u’llah made His Proclamation. What Mason, as the expounder of the word was telling us was that the Lamb was neither the Bab or Baha’u’llah, but ‘the Lamb’ referred to the establisher of the Kingdom of God on earth that was inaugurated by Baha’u’llah, and is to be established by the Lamb.
10
The guardian did not know who the Lamb was, but he was certain that the Lamb was alive in the world, and he indicated that he was that person. He knew, from scriptures, that only the Lamb could establish the Kingdom. It was common (mis-) knowledge that the guardians would establish the Kingdom. He, at the age of 99, knew that he could not die without the faith being established by the Lamb. He would still be alive today if it wasn’t for the Knight Dr. Opal M. Jensen writing you that letter in 1974, that was in answer to your letter, telling you to tell Mason that he couldn’t be the Lamb, for he was the King seated on the throne and the Lamb is before the throne as prophesied by Jesus in the book of Revelation, as follows:
“And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into the earth; and he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne” (Rev. 5 6,7; Revised Standard Version, RSV).
Each king that is seated on a throne holds a scepter in his right hand as the token that shows his authority to sit upon that throne. The scroll that the Lamb takes from the right hand of the King, Mason Remey, was the scepter of his authority to sit upon the throne of David. This scepter that gave him that authority was the Covenant and Will and Testament. The kings (guardians) are unable to establish the Covenant of Baha’u’llah and the Will and Testament in the world, because they are not the establishers. So I, the Lamb, took the scepter from the right hand of the King Mason Remey. I have now raised up a whole new body to do just that, establish the Kingdom of God on earth.
The four living creatures are: England, Russia, France and the United States, as follows: “the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle.’ (Rev. 4:7 RSV). The symbol of England is the lion. The ancient symbol of Russia before it became communist was that of the young bull. After the four waves of destruction that are upon us, it will no longer be communist and it will go back to the symbol of the ox. Several years ago the French Parliament adopted the face of Charles de Gaulle as the symbol of France. And of course the eagle is the symbol of America. These four countries are to very, very soon to become the first Baha’i Nations.
“I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes” (5:6).
Jesus on his first coming was the sacrificial Lamb, and on his return he is the Lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes. The seven horns are the 7 alive revealed religions, and the 7 spirits refer to the 7 Manifestations: Moses, Krishna, Zoroastor, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad and Baha’u’llah. The Adamic and the Babi revelations are no longer alive, because they have no followers. For instance all of the Babis
11
have either died off or have become Baha’is. The eyes symbolize the fact that the Lamb can look into these Revelations and give positive proof that they are of God–something that I have done.
After the Lamb takes the scroll and breaks the seals the whole world becomes Baha’i.
“And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls of incense, which are the prayers of the saints, they sang a new song [my explanations and commentaries], saying, ‘Worthy art thou to take the scroll and open its seals, for thou west slain and by thy blood didst ransom men for God from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and hast made them a Kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on earth.’
“Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, ‘Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!’
“And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all therein, saving, ‘To him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might for ever and ever!’ And the four living creatures said, ‘Amen! ‘ and the elders fell down and worshiped” (Rev. 5:8-14).
Here I have shown from scriptures three different persons, or is it just one person with three different titles, that establishes the Kingdom of God? In the 19th chapter of Revelation it tells us that the knight on the white horse has many titles: “His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems” [many crowns or headbands– titles] (Rev. 19:12).
But how do we know that this knight on a white horse in Revelation 19 is a Knight of Baha’u’llah? Because I say so? No! It is because the scripture says so. “On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, King of kings and Lord Of lords ” (Rev, 19:16). When a knight goes into battle he has on his robe and on his chaps the name of the king of whom he champions. Of the nine Manifestations, two were Christs: not their names, but this title pertained to their genealogies back to King David. Jesus said that he was a king (John 18:37). Then he said that his Kingdom was not of this world (John 18:26). Although he was a male (sperm) descendant of King David, none of his ancestors sat on the throne of King David. He was a descendant of King David through the brother of King Solomon, Nathan. David appointed Solomon, not Nathan, to be his successor on the throne, and none of Nathan’s descendants sat on the throne.
Baha’u’llah on the other hand, in His Proclamation, said that he sat on the throne of David. Baha’u’llah’s father sat on the throne of King David. His grandfather sat on the throne of King David, all the way back in an unbroken line, father to son, to King David. In His Covenant he continues that line of kings to His son, the center of the Covenant, ‘Abdu’l-Baha. ‘Abdu’l-Baha continues that kingship in his adopted son, your father Mason Remey, and then to you and
12
your descendants forever, as delineated in his Will and Testament. Thus Baha’u’llah is that King who is the descendant of David and is the King who is king over all the kings to sit henceforth on the throne of David. Therefore, He is the King of kings. Baha’u’llah also is the last Manifestation of the Adamic cycle and the first of a dispensation that will last for five-hundred thousand years, thus he is the Lord of lords.
I was knighted as a ‘Knight of Baha’u’llah’ by Shoghi Effendi and am the only male knight left. Therefore, I am that Promised knight on the White horse in Revelation 19:11-16. “He is clad in a robe dipped in blood,” (v 13). Baha’u’llah refers to His Revelation as a robe. This Revelation came into being by the blood of 10,000 martyrs of the Bab and 20,000 Baha’i martyrs, thus it is a robe dipped in blood. And the Legions of the Covenant that follow me are the: “….armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, that followed him on white horses” (Rev. 19:14). The White horses represent the pure Revelation of God sent down by Baha’u’llah. These armies of heaven are the new creation that God has raised up after the entire Baha’i community failed its tests. It is this new body that you are the head of. More on this later.
Nobody should believe anything on dead faith. This is the problem of all the dead followers following dead religions created by the corrupters of religions. Faith must be actual factual, for there are many false prophets and Christs.
Just how can we really tell who is a Promised One of God, using criteria that are infallible? The infallible criteria are the ones that God uses; and they are called the ‘Golden Criteria.’ These are found in the Gospel of Matthew and used by ‘Abdu’l-Baha. They are also referred to as the calling card in the vernacular. The Promised Ones don’t come empty-handed, but are prophesied by name, by address, by date and by profession or trade. These ‘our things are found on most business or calling cards. For instance my wife’s professional card says, Dr. Opal M. Jensen, Doctor of Natural Medicine, 328 Stephens Avenue, Missoula, Montana 59801. And it says when she is going to be there. There might be other people that are named Opal M. Jensen. Some of them might be doctors, and some of them might be doctors of natural medicine, but there is only one person in this entire world that is named Dr. Opal M. Jensen, that is at 328 Stephens Avenue in Missoula, Montana 59801 at the time specified.
Jesus was prophesied by name, Emmanuel: “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:13,14 KJV).
The book of Matthew gives us the prophecy from the Old Testament and then gives us its meaning, as how it refers to Jesus: “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS” (Matt. 1:23-25 KJV).
13
Just why did Joseph call his son’s name Jesus when the prophecy says they shall call his name Emmanuel? The prophecy was given by Isaiah in the Hebrew language. 742 years later the Jews were speaking Greek. ‘Jesus’ is the Greek equivalent to ‘Emmanuel.’ Thus Jesus was prophesied by name.
“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, vet out of thee shall come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose going forth have been from old, from everlasting” (Micah 5:2 KJV).
“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold’ there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem” (Matt. 2:1 KJV).
Thus Jesus was prophesied by address.
“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times” (Dan. 9:25 KJV).
“And he shall confirm the covenant with. many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,…”. (Dan. 9:27 KJV).
“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon the holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seat up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy” (Dan. 9:24 KJV).
There are seventy weeks until a Messiah is cut off. There are 490 days in 70 weeks. Each day is as a year: “I have appointed thee each day for a year” (Ez. 4:6) These 490 years start with the order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem (v 25). The order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was given by “Artaxerxes king of Persia” to Ezra in 457 BC (Ezra 7:1; See a dated Bible).
“This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him’s (Ezra 7:6).
“For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon,…” (Ezra 7:9).
Their calendar started with the vernal equinox, which is Mar. 21st on our calendar. So the order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was given on March 21, 457 BC. Subtract the BC date from the 490 years and it gives you 33, the age of Jesus when he was crucified. There are 456 years from 457 BC to the birth of Jesus. Subtract these 456 years from the 490 years and you have 34 AD. Jesus, at the age of 33, was crucified on March 21, 34 AD.
14
As you can see Jesus was prophesied by date. He was crucified just 490-years (70 weeks) from the order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, In the bar graph there were 7 weeks, 62 weeks and 1 week. Add them up and you have 70 weeks. The 7 weeks represent 49 years. It took 49 years from the order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, for Jerusalem to be rebuilt. Then there was an interim of 62 weeks, or 434 years between when Jerusalem was rebuilt to the coming of the last week’ which is the week of the Covenant. This is when John the Baptist began his mission. This was just 69 weeks (483 years) from the Order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, March 21, 27 AD. Three and one-half years later, in the middle of the week, September 22, 30 AD, Jesus was baptized by John. He then began his ministry when he was about 30 years of age: “Jesus when he began his ministry was about thirty years of age” (Luke 3:21). Three and one-half years later on March 21, 34 AD, when he was 33 years old, he died on Calvary cross for the forgiveness of sins (Dan. 9:24), which was his mission.
For further reference on these dates by ‘Abdu’l-Baha see chapter X of ‘Some Answered Questions,’ by ‘Abdu’l-Baha.
There may have been other persons that were called Jesus, or Emmanuel, and some of them may have been born in Bethlehem. But there is just one person in the world that was called Jesus, or Emmanuel, that was a descendant of King David, that was born in Bethlehem, that had a forerunner by the name of John the Baptist that began his ministry on March 21, 27 AD and baptized Jesus on September 22, 30 AD, and that was crucified on Calvary cross on March 21 at the age of 33 in 34 AD. This is the kind of proof that God gives for His Promised Ones.
God uses this same kind of proof for the coming of the Bab and Baha’u’llah. For everything there is a formula. Like H20 is the formula for water, or NaCl for table salt, etc. The above is the formula for the advent of certain Promised Ones of God. Like I said it is called the Golden Criteria.
To begin with, two Messiahs are prophesied to come. Hal Lindsey in his book ‘The Late Great Planet Earth,’ states on page 18, that two Christs, or Messiahs were prophesied in Old Testament Scriptures. The meaning of the word Christ, or Messiah is: a Male (sperm) descendant of King David that is anointed. Christ is not the last name of Jesus as some people think. No! It pertains to his genealogy, as given in Luke 3:23-32. In spite of the virgin birth, Joseph was the sperm father of Jesus. See a copy of Dear Abby enclosed. Paul tells us in the first chapter of Romans that:
15
“Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which. was made of the seed [sperm] of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness,” (vs 3,4).
Of the nine Manifestations of God, two of them are Messiahs. One is entitled the Son, the other the Father. According to ‘Abdu’l-Baha these titles pertain to the potency of their respective Revelations. These two Messiahs were prophesied in Zechariah, chapter four:
“And said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold, a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon,….And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof” (vs 2,3).
“Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?” (v 11).
“Then said he, These are thee two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth” (v 14).
This seven-candled Menorah with the two olive trees on each side is on the Great Seal of the State of Israel. It also appears on the cover page of the ‘Israel Government Year Book–5718 (1957),’ where Mason Remey is listed as the head of the Bahati religious court of Israel as shown in exhibits #9 and #17, enclosed. Stephen saw these two Christs in a vision: “But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw [Baha’u’llah] the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right and of God,” (Acts 7:55 KJV).
Jesus prophesied the coming of Baha’u’llah by name in Mark 8:38: “For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father.” Hundreds of places in the Bible the name Baha’u’llah is prophesied, but this name has been translated from the original tongues into English as either: ‘Glory of God,’ ‘Glory of the Father,’ or the ‘Glory of the Lord.’ All the Revelators have prophesied the coming of Baha’u’llah, and the Hadith prophesies the coming of ‘Husayn Ali,’ Baha’u’llah’s given name. So Baha’u’llah was prophesied by name.
The address where Baha’u’llah could be found was primarily prophesied by Ezekiel. Ezekiel was a high priest. He was among the first captives taken into Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. He was contemporary with Daniel. Daniel was of royalty and was interested in the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem, while Ezekiel was interested in the reestablishment of the Temple, after the city and the Temple were destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar.
Ezekiel knew that the Tabernacle and later the Temple of Solomon were but replicas of the Ideal temple not built by hands. When Moses was alive he was the intermediary between God and man. He wasn’t going to live forever in the flesh, so God told him to build a tabernacle according to the pattern that Cod had shown him on the mountain (Ex. 25:9,40).
16
“Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. The Glory of the Lord [Baha’u’llah] settled on Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days; and on the seventh day he galled to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord [Baha’u’llah] was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel” (Ex. 24:15-17).
What Moses saw was Baha’u’llah. What the people saw was a devouring fire. ‘Abdu’l-Baha explains that all the Manifestations know the same messages of all the other Manifestations. Any Manifestation could give the message of any of the other Manifestations. It is like the grades in school: all the elementary school teachers could teach any of the eight grades. What Moses saw was the Revelation of Baha’u’llah. But this Revelation is a burning fire to the people, because the mass of them fail the tests.
The Tabernacle that Moses built, a tent divided in two by a curtain, was a replica of the archetypical temple of the advent of the Bab and Baha’u’llah. This temple was prophesied in the Great Pyramid at the upper end of the Grand gallery, or the upper end of the ascending passageway (a diagram enclosed). This temple consisted in the Pyramid as: the Great Step or altar; the anti-chamber or the Sanctuary; and the King’s Chamber or the Holy of Holies.
The anti-chamber was that of the Bab, He purified the Sanctuary with His blood and the blood of ten thousand of his followers on the altar. The King’s Chamber is the chamber of that Great King, the second Messiah, that sat on the throne of King David. He then moved that throne from Mazindaran (Babylonia), to Mt. Carmel, in the Tablet of Carmel.
Ezekiel saw this archetypical temple of the Bab and Baha’u’llah and he prophesied the coming of the Bab and Baha’u’llah. Ezekiel wrote his book in the Aramaic language. What we have is a translation of the Aramaic to English. The word for gate in Aramaic is ‘Bab’ and for Glory of God is ‘Baha’u’llah,’ so in quoting the following I am reinserting the words ‘Bab’ and ‘Baha’u’llah:’
“Afterward he brought me to the Bab, the Bab facing east. And behold, Baha’u’llah of Israel came from the east; and the sound of his coming was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with his Baha. And the vision I saw was like the vision which I had seen when he came to destroy the city, and like the vision which I had seen by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. As Baha’u’llah entered the temple by the Bab facing east, the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, Baha’u’llah filled the temple. While the man was standing beside me, I heard one speaking to me out of the temple; and he said to me, ‘this Son of man is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the people of Israel for ever” (Ez. 43:1- 7).
Ezekiel was standing at a spot close to where the Bab later made his Proclamation at Shiraz, Persia. This is close to the Euphrates. The Euphrates is the dividing line between the Middle East and the East, so he was looking east to where Baha’u’llah came from in the
17
province of Mazindaran in the city of Nur at the Caspian Sea, which was further east from the Euphrates. Baha’u’llah then was taken as a prisoner from the east to Israel.
But to just what part of Israel was he taken? In order to establish the address we need to know. The prophecy in the 35th chapter of Isaiah gives us this information:
“The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, the desert shall rejoice and blossom; like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly. The Glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord [Baha’u’llah], the majesty of our God” (vs 1,2).
In circa 1867 Baha’u’llah was taken and placed in prison in Acca, the most foul prison of the Ottoman Empire. The city of Acca is in the Valley of Sharon’ which runs along the Mediterranean Sea. When Baha’u’llah came there the area was a desert and the city was foul. It is said that if a bird should fly over the city it would drop dead from the stench. Now it is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. When Baha’u’llah, the Glory of the Lord, got out of prison He went up on Mt. Carmel and delineated the institutions for the world center for a world government, and placed the throne of David, that His father sat on, on Mt. Carmel. So, Sharon and Carmel literally saw Baha’u’llah, the majesty of our God. Thus the address for the advent of Baha’u’llah was very clearly prophesied in scriptures.
Like the date that Daniel gives for the advent of Jesus and his forerunner John the Baptist, so Daniel also gives the dates for the Bab and Baha’u’llah.
In the 24th chapter of Matthew the disciples asked Jesus three questions: “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the close of the age?” (v 3). They wanted to know the date for the appearance of the forerunner, the Bab, the date for the second Christ, the date for the return of Jesus and for the end of the age. Jesus told them to turn to Daniel (that had given the date for Jesus’ first coming), for the date of the second coming. “So when you see the desolating sacrilege spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),” (v 15).
There are several periods for the desolating sacrilege. One of them was the sacrilege of the Jews. During the days of Jeremiah the prophet, they went a whoring after other gods, the gods of Pagan Babylonia and the bowing down and worshiping the idols of these gods, an abomination to the Lord. So God, seeing that the Jews were no longer worshiping Him, let them be taken into captivity in Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. Then Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the city of Jerusalem and the Temple, leaving it desolate (the desolated sacrilege). This period came to an end with the order of Artaxerxes to Ezra to restore and rebuild Jerusalem in 457 BC.
Daniel, in the 8th chapter, speaks about this transgression that makes desolate and gives a date for the cleansing of the sanctuary:
“For how long is the vision concerning the continual burnt
18
offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?” And he said to him, ‘For two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state’” (vs 13-14). [The King James version says:] “Then shall the sanctuary be cleansed” (v 14).
There were 2300 years from March 21, 457 BC to March 21, 1844. There are 456 years from 457 BC to the birth of Jesus. Subtract these 456 years from the 2300 years and you have the AD date of 1844. The Bab set up the calendar for the New Age starting on March 21, 1844. For the Bab, meaning door or gate, closed the door of the prophetic age and opened the door ‘For Him whom God shall make Manifest,’ Baha’u’llah: the age of fulfillment. The Bab restored the sanctuary to its rightful place and cleansed it with His blood and the blood of ten thousand of His followers.
The dates for the advents of the Bab, Baha’u’llah and the establisher are all given in the 12th chapter of Daniel: “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people” (v 1). The dictionary definition of Michael is, “Who is like God (Hebrew)” (Dictionary of Masculine Names). The Manifestations are Like God. Having the Holy Spirit, they receive the thought of God and give it in a Revelation, thus Manifesting God. The thought of God that Baha’u’llah received was that of the Glory of the Father. It is the full thought of God for the Adamic cycle and for a new dispensation that will last for 500 thousand years. Thus, He has charge of God’s people. Therefore this Manifestation (Michael) is the Great Prince.
He is a prince because His father sat on the throne of David in exile, thus His father was an exilarch, meaning David’s monarchy in exile in Babylonia. In 597 BC Nebuchadnezzar, Ring of Babylon, after conquering Jerusalem, took the king of Judah, Jehoiachin, and his throne to Babylon and placed him in prison (2 Kings 24:12-15). Thirty-seven years later Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, took Jehoiachin out of prison and replaced him on his throne in Babylon (52:31- 33).
Jehoiachin (also recorded as Jeconiah) had seven sons. Three of them died before he did. His fourth son Shenazzar succeeded his father Jehoiachin on the throne of David in exile.
The mass of the Jewish population including their king, Shenazzar, and his descendants, remained in Babylonia through successive empires including the Persian, Greek, Parthian, Sassanian and Islamic, to the advent of Baha’u’llah. These Jewish kings were called exilarchs, meaning monarchs in exile. Only a small contingent of Jews under the leadership of Zerubbabel returned to Judea to rebuild the temple and the city of Jerusalem.
“….And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time; but at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book” (v 1).
We are in that time of trouble now. We have had two world wars
19
and are now on the precipice of the third. And the Baha’i Faith came to an end in January of 1974 except for the two knights. In this letter I am delineating the people that are to be delivered–the new body that is raised up.
“And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt” (v 2). .
Those that sleep in the dust of the earth are the materialists and those that don’t know that the King of Glory has come: and the Promised establisher of His Kingdom is here. In the coming events many will awake to the call of the 7th angel, or the Lamb, or to the call of the knight on the white horse, and will attain to everlasting life: But to the deniers their lot shall be shame and everlasting contempt.
“And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever” (v 3).
Those who are wise are those that use their intellects to investigate the proofs of the Promised Ones. They shine like the brightness of the firmament and the stars for ever and ever. You ought to see this new body.
“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seat the book, until the the time of the end” (v 4).
To shut up the words and seal the book means that the full meaning doesn’t come until the time of the end. Jesus said: “And this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the earth as a testimony to all nations; then the end will come” (Matt. 24:14, The New English Bible).
The heart of Baha’u’llah’s Revelation is the heart of Jesus’ gospel, (that of the Kingdom). Paul said that if you teach any other gospel than that of the Kingdom you are not teaching the gospel of Christ. The Christians, however, never taught the gospel of the Kingdom. Instead they deified Jesus, making him the second diety of a three-god deity, from the Babylonian whore religion of the trinity, started by Nimrod and Semiramis.
The Baha’is never taught the Kingdom. They taught the Babi administration and a twelve basic principle religion. They knew nothing at all about Baha’u’llah being the King seated on David’s throne. The first I heard of it was when the Guardian Mason Remey wrote that the guardians are kings seated on a throne. The Covenant-breakers caught in the first sting operation separated themselves from the king and the Kingdom when they separated themselves from the guardian and God (W&T p 11). They then replaced the Kingdom with a headless monster.
Those that were caught in the second sting operation separated themselves from the king and the Kingdom when they separated themselves from the guardian that was the inheritor of the throne.
20
The only ones that are proclaiming the Kingdom are those dear souls that form the body of the Lamb. We are the only people that have a message for the world. All the rest are asleep in the dust of the earth.
“Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase” (v 4).
Have you ever seen such a running to and fro like the people are doing today? And look at the increase in knowledge in the world today; for instance I am writing this epistle to you on a computer that does terrific things. We have now reached to such a stage of human evolvement in travel, communications and knowledge that this message of the Kingdom can be proclaimed to the entire world.
“Then I Daniel looked, and behold two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. And I said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, ‘How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?’ The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven; and I heard him swear by him who lives for ever that it would be for a time, two times, and a half time; and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be accomplished” (vs 57).
“I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, ‘O my Lord, what shall be the issue of these things?’ He said, ‘Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end’” (vs 8,9).
What Daniel was saying was, “God, I don’t understand any of this.” What God was answering was, “Daniel those words are sealed up. Nobody is going to understand these things until the Promised ones come and explain it all.”
“Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand” (v 10).
When these things are explained by the Promised establisher, those who use their intellects to comprehend instead of going on how they feel (hunches), or worse yet on their prejudices (judgments or opinions formed beforehand or without thoughtful examination of the pertinent facts, issues, or arguments; especially unfavorable, irrational opinions), these are the wise ones. These wise ones then see the purpose of life, for they have become cognizant of God’s plan, and they accept and follow the Covenant. In that Covenant Baha’u’llah tells us that their past ways are forgiven, so they clean up their act, then they get the white aura. All man’s sins are recorded in their auras. The rainbow represents the Covenant. When all the colors are in their proper proportion you have white light.
The greatest gift of Cod is the intellect, and with it we are able to understand the abstract. The intellect is the window of the soul. Through it we can see with our own eyes plainly. God gave us
21
this intellect so that we may know Him through the Manifestations and Promised Ones. Without it we are mere brutes. Therefore the wise are those that use this intellect for this purpose. The wicked are wicked because they don’t use God’s greatest gift, the intellect, to examine the proofs and know the truth. Therefore they must remain ignorant and not understand.
The question that was asked was, “How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” (v 6). Then the man clothed in linen gave three different dates.
The first pertains to the Bab, It is 3 1/2 times. A time is a circle. A circle is 360 degrees and 3 1/2 X 360 = 1260. These are lunar years. They start with the beginning of the Muslim calendar in 622 AD, and end with the calendar of the new Age in 1260 AH, or 1844 AD.
The second pertains to Baha’u’llah: “And from the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days” (v 11). Jesus did away with. the burnt offering in the temple but the Catholics continued it in the Eucharist. The bread and wine become the body and blood of Jesus which they sacrifice over and over again in their Mass ceremony. The Christians replace Jesus’ Gospel of the Kingdom with the Pagan trinitarian doctrine of Semiramis, ah abomination to the Lord.
Muhammad brought this abomination and desolate teaching to an end for the Christians that converted to Islam. He asks in the Koran, Where does Jesus say that he was God, or that his mother was another God? Nowhere–three gods? There is but one God!
The 1290 years are figured from the Proclamation of’ Muhammad in 10 BH, to the Proclamation of Baha’u’llah in 1280 AH: (10+1280=1290). The year 1280 AH in the Muslim calendar is the year 1863 in the Christian calendar. Thus the date for Baha’u’llah was prophesied by Daniel.
The third date pertains to the establisher. “Blessed is he who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days” (v 12). These 1335 years start with the victory of Muhammad, when he wrote his victory sure in 628 AD. ‘Abdu’l-Baha tells us these are solar years that start with the beginning of the Muslim era and come to an end with the coming of the victorious one on April 21, 1963 AD, the date for the one that ‘fulfills the prophecies for the return of Jesus. As asked Jesus by his disciples in Matthew 24:3, “what will be the sign of your coming,” who is the Son that will establish the Kingdom of the Father Baha’u’llah on earth by the end of this century? This was covered in part on pages 9 and 10.
“….And when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be accomplished” (Dan. 12:7).
The holy people are those that form the body. The shattering of our power will come to an end when the head joins the body in the battle to set up the Kingdom. For the body does not exist without a head and the head does not exist without a body.
Now let us get to the mission of Baha’u’llah. First of all it is to set up the long promised Kingdom of God on earth as it is in
22
heaven. God said to the patriarch Abraham: “I will make of thee a great nation” (Gen. 12:2). This is the great nation of Israel founded by the Laws and Covenant of Moses. In chapter 17 of Genesis, God said to Abraham, “Thou shalt be the father of many nations” (v 4). The many nations are the “World Order of Baha’u’llah,” or Israel under its new name Baha’i, founded in the Laws and Covenant of Baha’u’llah and delineated in ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s Will and Testament. It consists primarily of the twin institutions of the guardianship and the Universal House of Justice. These twin institutions were prophesied in the Holy scriptures:
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
“And many people shall go and say, ‘Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the Cod of Jacob: and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the Law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.’
“And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more” (Is. 2:2-4 KJV).
This mountain is Mt. Carmel. The UHJ is to be built on top of this mountain. This mountain is exalted above the other mountains and hills, as this is the place of the Lord’s house. It was on this mountain that Baha’u’llah placed the throne of David. “For out of Zion shall go forth the law” (v 3). Zion is where the throne of David is. “…And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem” (v 3). The criminal trial against the Covenant-breakers will be prosecuted in the Supreme Court in Jerusalem. The results of that trial will be broadcast worldwide. Because of the material that will be presented in that case, Jews will recognize for the first time that Baha’u’llah is their long-awaited Messiah. This will bring mass conversion of Jews, Christians and Muslims around the world. They will come into the Kingdom in troops, because ‘the word of the Lord comes from Jerusalem.’ Three Great Religions are waiting for the Messiah: Jews’ Christians and Muslims. Then the people will go to this house of the God of Jacob. The God of Jacob is the One True Invisible Cod. This Cod that created everything, was first Revealed by the prophet Adam.
The UHJ shall be preceeded by the Baha’i International Tribunal (World Court), over which the guardian will officiate as head or judge. This will be set up on Mt. Carmel right after the catastrophe. The four nations that now form the beast will become the four living creatures, or the first Baha’i States. This International Tribunal is the lesser peace and will bring peace to the world by the end of this century. Then the Most Great Peace will be established with the election of the UHJ by Secondary Houses of Justice.
23
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulders: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Is. 9:6 KJV).
The Christians say that this pertains to Jesus, but nothing could be further from the truth. Although Jesus was a son and he was born, the similarity between Jesus and this prophecy stops there. Jesus was not called the everlasting Father, but the Son. Jesus never claimed to be the Prince of Peace. In fact he said: “Do not think I have come to bring peace on earth; but a sword” (Matt. 10:34). The Revelation of Jesus was entitled the Son as his revelation was only a partial Revelation of the Kingdom, which he said was not of this world (John 18:36).
Baha’u’llah was entitled the Father because He Revealed the full thought of God for the Adamic cycle, and His Kingdom is of this world and it will last for ever. As His Revelation is the full thought of God, therefore it is the fullest concept we can have of God, who is Infinite and cannot be comprehended in His Infinite Essence. Therefore the Revelation of Baha’u’llah is the mighty God to us. His revelation is for the establishment of peace in the world. By the end of this century the promised 1,000 years of peace will begin.
“Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts [Baha’u’llah] will perform this” (Is. 9:7).
This also does not apply to Jesus. He didn’t reveal a government of any kind. The only thing that he said about government was: “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s” (Matt. 22:21). In fact he said: “My kingship is not of this world” (JOhn 18:36).
However Baha’u’llah’s Kingdom is of this world. Baha’u’llah’s Kingdom is established upon the throne of David that will last forever, because all of His ancestors were kings that were seated on the throne of David. This throne with. a man seated upon it will last forever.
“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations” (Psalms 89:3,4).
“I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips. Once for all I have sworn by my holiness: I will not lie to David. His line shall endure for ever, his throne as long as the sun before me. Like the moon it shall be established for ever; it shall stand firm while the skies endure” (Psalms 89:34-37).
In 1957 the Covenant-breaking hands, meeting in secret conclave after the death of Shoghi Effendi, one and all with the exception of Mason Remey said ‘Bada:’ a Persian word meaning God has broken His
24
Covenant that He said that He would not break. Their dogma, invented by them, was that the David Kingship entitled the guardianship, has ended.
Although many Manifestations will succeed Baha’u’llah, there won’t be another for a full thousand years. All the future Manifestations will be under the shadow of Baha’u’llah and His Covenant for a full five hundred thousand years. Thus His dispensation will last for five hundred thousand years, and then there will be another Manifestation of the magnitude of Baha’u’llah. He will unite this planet with another planet.
“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:” (Is. 11:1 KJV)
Jesse was the father of King David. The stem of Jesse was his penis. The rod that came out of the stem of Jesse was the rod of authority of David and his throne that is to exist forever. This authority came by the Covenant that God made with David, the one he said He would not break: that David’s descendants would sit on David’s throne forever. Baha’u’llah is that ancient root of the ‘Tree of Life,’ which is the Covenant. To eat of this tree means you live forever (Gen. 3:22). To eat means to digest and be firm in the knowledge of the Covenant. The Branch that grew out of this root is ‘Abdu’l- Baha:
“O my Branches! Almighty power and supreme potency is hidden and concealed in the world of being. Focus your gaze upon it and the direction of its unity, not upon the differences which are apparent therein.
“God’s Will and Testament enjoins upon the branches, the twigs, and the kinsfolk, one and all, to gaze unto the most great Branch. Consider what we have revealed in my Book of Aqdas, to wit;
“When the sea of My Presence is exhausted and the Book of Origin hath reached its end, turn you unto him (‘Abdu’l-Baha) who is desired by God–he who is issued from this ancient Root”–(Baha’u’llah, ‘The Kitab-i-Ahd, Book of the Covenant’).
‘Abdu’l-Baha continued this Davidic line of descent in a gentile when he adopted Mason Remey as his son, and Mason was also appointed by Shoghi Effendi to succeed him in the guardianship. The nation of Israel, under its new name Baha’i, becomes a multitude of nations. Therefore it is no longer to continue under the tribe of Judah, but is to be passed to a gentile. King David was of the Tribe of Judah, and so were Baha’u’llah and ‘Abdu’l-Baha. There is an ancient prophecy that foretells this giving over of the scepter to a gentile.
“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be” (Gen. 49:10).
Between the feet pertains to the male reproductive organ (penis). Shiloh pertains to the establisher of the Kingdom under the
25
gentile kings that now sit on the throne of David in exile. “Unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” His mission is to gather together the new body, and to return the exiled king to Mt. Carmel and seat him on his throne–him and his descendants forever.
I have shown by the Golden Criteria that Baha’u’llah fulfilled the prophecies for the second Messiah. I have shown that He was prophesied by name, by address, by date and by mission. He is the only person in this world that has ever fulfilled these sacred prophecies, and there won’t be another.
Now that we have proven both. Messiahs, Jesus and Baha’u’llah, by the Golden Criteria, we will now use this same Golden Criteria to prove the establisher of the Kingdom of God on earth. He is prophesied by name, by address, by date and by mission, as were the two Messiahs.
Baha’u’llah fulfilled the prophecies for the second Messiah, but He did not fulfill the prophecies of the return of Jesus. He did not come in the name of Jesus, for if He did He would be a deceiver. Jesus said: “For many will come in my name [Jesus], saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray’” (Matt. 24:5).
Jesus, besides being a Messiah, was also a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 6:20). This is important. The Jews are not only awaiting the reestablishment of their Davidic Kingship, a Messiah. They are also waiting for the Ark of the Covenant that became lost when Nebuchadnezzar took it into Babylon, and for the reestablishment of their Temple which was destroyed by Titus in 70 AD, and for the reestablishment of their High Priests that also came to an end with Titus destroying all the genealogies of Jesus’ collateral descendants and also the genealogies of the the High Priests.
I have already explained the reestablishment of their kingship and their Temple in the Bab and Baha’u’llah. The Ark of their Covenant was lost because it was the Covenant for the the great nation of Israel. This is replaced with Baha’u’llah’s Covenant, which is for a multitude of nations. But in order for the prophecies to be completely fulfilled it is essential to also have the reestablishment of the High Priest, for without a High Priest to stand in the Holy of Holies there is no presence of God.
The Manifestations are the intermediaries between God and Man. Moses knew that he was not going to live forever so he transferred the intermediaryship from himself to the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle, by placing in it the Ark of the Covenant containing his writings, the stone tablet of the commandments, and his Covenant. Then he had it presided over by a High Priest, his brother Aaron and his descendants, who alone were allowed to enter into the Holy of Holies.
These conditions that Moses laid down for the nation of Israel are prescribed, according to prophecies, to be reestablished for Israel when it becomes a multitude of nations or the World Order of Baha’u’llah. The nation of Israel was the microcosm of the macrocosm Baha’i.
As the Covenant of Moses was replaced by the Covenant of Baha’u’llah, the Aaronic priesthood that came to an end in the
26
second century AD is replaced by a greater priesthood of a High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, as described by Paul in Hebrews, chapter 7.
As Jesus was “a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek,” so on his return he is that High Priest that alone stands in the Holy of Holies of the Revelation of Baha’u’llah.
Melchizedek was Shem, the beloved son of Noah that lived for five hundred years after the flood until Abraham met him and blessed him. Shem was the one to whom the patriarch Abraham gave tithes. Shem alone stood solidly against the enlarged forces of Nimrod, and had Nimrod executed for heresy. Then Shem moved to Palestine and built the City of Peace– Jerusalem–where Abraham met him. See my epistle to Dan Lehmann, enclosed.
“And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him” (Zech. 3:1 KJV).
The New Catholic Version, by Douay states:
“And the Lord shewed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord : and satan stood on his right hand to be his adversary” (Zech. 3:1).
Joshua is the Aramaic word for the Hebrew word Yehoshua, and Jesus is the Greek word for Joshua.
On April 21, 1963, the date given by Daniel and explained by ‘Abdu’l-Baha for “Blessed is He who waits and comes to the 1335 days” or years, I fulfilled this prophecy when Rex King, who was designated Satan by the Guardian, started to bad-mouth me in his attempt to usurp the guardianship; at that time I was the only protector of the guardianship.
“And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?”
The Lord that was the guardian of the Baha’i faith said to Satan, as expressed in a letter I received as follows:
FOR DR. LELAND JENSEN * | FROM THE GUARDIAN OF THE ORTHODOX BAHA’I |
WORLD FAITH |
C/O American Express Co. | |
Florence, Italy | |
13 September 1969 |
Some days ago I was astonished to have word that Rex King and two young men were below wishing to see me! I sent word back to say I would like very much to see Rex but not the young men. I had things I wanted to tell him but not them.
I told Rex that no one of my acquaintance has a better knowledge
27
of the Baha’i Faith than he, but as Lucifer in Old Testament Days chose to put truth aside and espouse the cause of Satan, so had he done in these modern times decided that he would now assume the station of Satan in these days of the Dispensation of Christ, despite the many opportunities that I had given him to change his evil ways, Yet he refused and blatantly insisted on maintaining his satanic intentions, therefore obliging me to east him out from all association in this world with the people of God that included the life to come as well as his fire here upon earth – his station to be ever and eternally that of Satan for evermore.
signed: Charles Mason Remey
I entered the Montana State Prison on August 8, 1969 on a charge that in prison jargon is called a dirty jacket. I was shunned and ridiculed by the prisoners chanting ‘dirty jacket, dirty jacket.’ I was unable to make but very few friends because of this.
Several months after this, in a prison cell, I received this letter from Mason Remey through his correspondent Charlie Murphy. I received it in the morning mail and read it, remarking to myself ‘that it was about time that the guardian did something about Rex.’ This was just before I went to lunch, leaving this letter laying on my desk. After returning from lunch I found a King James version of the Bible (which is still in my possession), opened to the third chapter of Zechariah, lying next to the letter from Mason. Someone had tossed it into my cell between the bars and it just happened to land open to that chapter. Later I found that Myron Gardapie, one of the few friends that would talk to me, was going out on parole and as it was customary to leave a token of remembrance to friends, and knowing that I was religious, he left me his Bible.
I took this as an omen: that this didn’t just happen by chance but that there was a special message for me. So I began to read from the 3rd chapter of Zechariah. After reading the first verse I thought it was a history of a priest by the name of Joshua that had the same thing happen to him as had happened to me. So I continued on and read the second verse.
“And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee, is this not a brand plucked out of the fire?” (v 2).
While I was reading this, the letter from Mason stating that Rex King was Satan was laying alongside of the Bible and I could see the strong similarity of the text Or the Bible and Mason’s strong rebuke of Rex King. I could hardly believe that the same thing was happening to me as had happened to Joshua. But then when I read the third verse it was just too much.
“Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel” (v 3).
It stated that Joshua also had a dirty garment, like me. But it
28
didn’t say that Joshua was dirty, just his garments, like me. I was in the prison on a travesty of justice, undoubtedly like Joshua in the text. The parallel was so striking I could hardly believe it. The scenario was so grasping as to seize my very soul. What was to happen next?
“And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saving, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused shine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will cloth thee with a change of raiment” (v 4).
Here he spake unto those that stood before Joshua to take away the filthy garments and unto Joshua he said I have caused shine iniquity to pass from thee. He had the iniquity to pass from Joshua by having those that stood before him to remove the iniquity. As Joshua was a high priest, then all the true body of Israel would stand up for him. Then I started thinking, “Am I going to have my iniquity removed in the same manner?” I looked up the word iniquity and one of the meanings is: ‘violation of right or justice; unjust thing.’ I was in prison by a violation of my rights which was an unjust thing. I presumed that the same thing applied to Joshua. Was I too going to have people to stand before me and remove this unjust thing? And how are they going to do this? So I went on to the next verse:
“And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by” (v 5).
The fair mitre is the headdress of the high priest, indicating that he possessed the knowledge of the High Priest standing in the Holy of Holies. He is the one that has the greatest knowledge of the Revelation of the Manifestation. It is something like when you graduated from college and they put a mitre board on your head, indicating that you had passed the course.
“And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saving, Thus saith the Lord of Hosts [Baha’u’llah]; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by” (vs 6,7).
If Joshua will walk in the ways, and keep the Covenant and Testament of the Lord of Hosts, and pass all the tests, the sting operations, then Joshua will judge His house and shalt also keep His courts. Up until this time I was still thinking this was history, and I saw that it was in parallel to me as it fit my situation entirely. But then when I read the next verse the light bulb turned on.
“Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring for my servant the BRANCH” (v 8).
29
When I read this verse I said, “O My God, O My God!” and tears rolled down my cheeks with me saying, “This isn’t history, this is a prophecy, for the BRANCH is ‘Abdu’l-Baha.” He is the most Great Branch, branched from the ancient root, and Joshua was going to reestablish him in the world for the whole Baha’i world had failed the tests and violated all the provisions of His Sacred Will and Testament. He is the “servant the BRANCH,” for the name ‘Abdu’l-Baha translated into English is “the servant of Glory.”
Then another thunderbolt hit me. Does all this mean that I am the fulfillment of this prophecy? By no means. I would have nothing to do with that. Not even in my fondest dreams did I ever picture myself in such a position. So I totally rejected this thought as it was abhorrent for me to even think of such a thing. So I read on.
“For the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts [Baha’u’llah], and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day” (v 9).
I said to myself, “How could a stone have seven eves? A potato could have seven eyes, but how could a stone?” I looked all around me and I couldn’t see a stone with 7 eyes. So I began to rejoice: “Ah ha! See, I don’t have a stone with 7 eyes before me, so I couldn’t he the Joshua.” And I began to rejoice al} the more. But then something happened to me that had never happened before and has never happened since.
I had a visitation. An angel stood before me. I couldn’t see the angel but I knew he was an angel, for he spoke to me and said, “You are the Joshua in this prophecy and you will establish the BRANCH.” I was startled and dumbfounded. Then in the frenzy of the moment I thought he was saying something like that I was the Branch.. As I knew that I could neither be the Branch nor the guardian, I then perceived that he was an evil spirit that was sent to beguile me. So I told him so. I told him that he was an evil spirit and that I wanted nothing to do with him. I told him to depart and he did.
I was shaken! I looked in the mirror and I was as white as a sheet, and the hair was standing up on my body. But I was relieved, for the last thing that I wanted in my life was to perform in such a role.
I wasn’t working at the time, for the institution doctors had ruled that because of the health condition I had at the time, I didn’t have to work. This was just fine with me for it gave me time to study and write. However due to the pleas of the deputy warden, I took a job for awhile in the fingerprint department in the administration building.
Shortly after that while I was working I heard one of the guards say, “They are bringing in another one through tower 7.” I looked out the window and I saw a sheriff bringing another prisoner in through tower 7. The towers are two stories, with the guard on the second floor with some sort of an assault weapon. On the first floor there were two doors: one to the street and the other to the prison yard. The guard unlocks the door to the street from the second floor, and lets them enter. Then he locks that door and opens the
30
other to the yard in the same way.
After looking out the window I turned to the guard that had just made the announcement and asked him, “Is that a stone wall?” And he answered, “Every bit of it.” I then inquired, “How many towers are there on that stone wall?” And he answered, “Seven.” I said, “Where is the eighth one?” He said, “There is no eighth one.” I then pressed further saying, “Maybe there are only six, perhaps one isn’t functional?” He informed me that there were indeed seven, and that they were all functional. That’s when I swooned, for no matter which way I turned I had the stone with seven eyes before me. I told the guard that I was faint and that I had to go and lie down. He dismissed me so I went back up to my room.
I then started to read the third chapter of Zechariah from other versions (translations). I found that where it said ‘that }and’ in the 9th verse of the King James version, in most of the other versions it said, ‘the land,’ such as in the Moffat translation and in the St. Joseph textbook edition Bible, the New English Bible and others. Then I said, “O My God! O My God!” For ‘the land’ is my name. When I was teaching the Baha’i Faith during the world crusade of Shoghi Effendi on two French-speaking Islands in the Indian ocean, many people told me that my name ‘Leland’ means ‘the land.’ ‘Le’ is the French article for the English article ‘the.’
As you can see by the parallels between Joshua and myself, Leland, that the iniquity of ‘the land’ and the iniquity of the Joshua is the same iniquity: ‘the dirty garment.’ At that point all the evidence was in. There was nothing more. Indeed I was the Promised return of Jesus. Not Jesus the Messiah, a Manifestation, but Jesus the High Priest standing alone in the Holy of Holies.
I decided to keep it a secret, like an ostrich sticking his head in the sand, hoping that it would go away as a bad dream. Perhaps another person would come up with the true claim. So I told no one.
But right after that my wife, the other Knight, that never missed a weekend coming down to the prison from Missoula, ninety miles away, to visit me, said to me: “Le,” (inadvertently, she always called me Le, meaning ‘the-,’ or ‘God,’ as in theology, or theogony: a genealogy of the gods) “…something has happened to you,” I asked her what happened to me. She said that was what she wanted to know. I told her that nothing had happened to me. She said, “Yes something has, and I want you to tell me.” I said, “It is nothing.” Then she said, “Oh, so there is something.” She said, “You have never kept anything from me, so I want you to tell me.” I told her I Would, but I had her swear that she would tell no one. So she promised to not tell any one. So I told her that I fulfilled the third chapter of Zechariah, and I read it to her, telling her that I was to establish the Kingdom of God on earth that was brought by Baha’u’llah. She told me that she knew this all the time. She said that I was the only one in the world that knew the Baha’i Faith, and that I was the only one that could establish it. Then she reminded me that I was one of the two Knights of the Lord that ‘Abdu’l-Baha had indicated would establish ‘the Kingdom,’
There is one more thing that I need to cover, and this pertains to the time frame of the ‘one day’ of the ninth verse of Zechariah 3. This is the day of Joshua. It starts when he began his mission on
31
April 21, 1963, the date given by Daniel and ratified by ‘Abdu’l- Baha, and it finishes with the establishment of the Kingdom. This is certified by the 10th verse:
“In that day, saith the Lord of hosts [Baha’u’llah], shall ye call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree” (v 10).
So the day of Joshua (Jesus) is from April 21, 1963 until the end of this century, with the establishment of the Kingdom.
There is one more thing to add on the address of the stone with seven eyes: It is between two mountains of copper or bronze. In the Hebrew lexicon the word for copper, brass and bronze is the same word:
‘”And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass” (Zech. 6:1).
Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my Lord? And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth” (Zech 6:4,5).
The two largest deposits of copper in the world are at Butte and Lincoln, Montana. The Montana State Prison at Deerlodge, Montana is in between these two mountains of brass.
And now dear Guardian I have shown you by the Golden Criteria that I have fulfilled the prophecies for the return of Jesus, the Son (the Son refers to the potency of his Revelation). The Son has returned to establish his Father’s Kingdom (Father refers to the potency of Baha’u’llah’s Revelation). I came in the name of ‘the land,’ Leland. I came at the address of the ‘stone with seven eyes,’ ‘between two mountains of bronze.’ I came at the date given by Daniel and ratified by ‘Abdu’l-Baha. And I am carrying out my mission of bringing forth the BRANCH. These four items are found on the common business card.
There are other people that are called Leland. Some of them may have been in the Montana State prison. But I am the only person in this world, either in the past or in the future, that fulfilled these prophecies. I came in the name of ‘the land,’ Leland. I came at the address of ‘The stone with seven eyes.’ I came at a specific time frame, the date. And I am the only person in this world that has brought forth a body that is establishing the BRANCH in this world.
I am the return of Jesus, the establisher, and there will never be another. You can search the world over forevermore and you would never find anyone else.
Now if you are a just man you will judge justly, and judging justly has to be based upon the facts only; like the facts that are presented in a courtroom for the judge or the jury to determine. That is why Baha’u’llah’s Kingdom is based upon courts of Justice. In the letter you wrote to Jean Miller in 1974, you wrote:
32
“In Baha’u’llah’s HIDDEN WORDS….the first thing a true believer needs is a pure kindly and radiant heart. Then Justice must be practiced for without Justice we cannot see with our own eyes, hear with our own ears and know with our own knowledge.”
In order to have the truth one must use his intellect to determine the facts; but he needs one thing more, a pure heart. For if he doesn’t have a pure heart, no matter how much he determines the facts he will reject anything that goes against his prejudices (preconceived ideas), or by his feelings. That is why Baha’u’llah tells us to neither love nor hate in the pursuit of justice.
As you are about to sit at the head of the International Tribunal as judge, right after the great catastrophe that is upon us, you are about to show the world that you have a pure heart and that you judge with justice as you had advised Jean Miller.
This is of the utmost of importance. This is so that the head and the body can work together for the greater good of establishing the Kingdom of the Glory of the Father, Abha Kingdom, as prophesied by Jesus (Mark 8:38).
Here we need to discuss the head and the body. As one cannot exist without the other, they both have to be in existence starting in the days of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, and at all times they both have to be connected together in order to exist.
The head controls the body, or does it? In the body there are many parts functioning together. Some are under the control of the head and some are not. For instance, the heart: it is not under the control of the brain at all. A person could be brain dead and the heart could keep on pumping the blood throughout the body. For example, a chicken with its head cut off can keep on functioning, running around the chicken yard flapping its wings and making funny noises until it pumps all the blood out of the circulatory system, and then the heart stops.
The heart has a brain of its own that causes it to function independently. It is called the ‘sino auricular node’ and it is located in the right auricle. It is the natural pace-maker of the heart. It sends its impulses down the perkinji fibers, or the bundle of His. This causes the muscles to contract in the auricles and then it stimulates the node of Tawara situated in the ventricle that causes the ventricles to contract. Sometimes the sino auricular node is called the ‘auricular ventricular node.’
The body can live without a functional brain, but the brain cannot live without a functional heart. If the blood is not pumped to the brain, it dies. The whole universe is designed after the plan of the human body, or visa versa. This includes the Kingdom of God on earth. If the blood of the Lamb, who is the heart of the Kingdom, is not pumped to the head of the body, the guardian, he becomes comatosed and then non-functional (a do-nothing guardian). When the blood is again pumped to the head he comes out of his coma and becomes functional.
The head and the body of the Abha Father’s Kingdom started embryonically in the days of ‘Abdu’l-Baha. At about the time that ‘Abdu’l-Baha adopted Mason, I was born. I was born on August 22, 1914. At that time ‘Abdu’l-Baha announced me to the world:
33
“Verily that Infant is born and exists and there will appear from his cause a wonder which thou wilt hear in the future. Thou shalt see Him with the most perfect form, most great gift, most complete perfection, most great power and strongest might! His face glisteneth a glistening whereby the horizons are illumined! Therefore, forget not this account as long as thou art living, for as much as there are signs for it in the passing centuries and ages” (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha Abbas,’ Baha’i Publishing Committee, New York, NY, 1930, p. 484).
This quote doesn’t pertain to either Shoghi Effendi or Mason Remey as some may suppose. When ‘Abdu’l-Baha wrote this neither of them were infants. Since both the body and the head had to be in existence in the days of ‘Abdu’l-Baha to be the inheritors in His Will and Testament, and because Shoghi and Mason were both heads of the twin institutions, this quote had to refer to the body of the UHJ.
At the time that this was written Mason and I were both embryonic head and heart (embryonic UHJ) of the body of believers. This head and body were different from the head and body of Shoghi Effendi’s administration. His embryonic body consisted, according to him, of the spiritual assemblies that were in existence with, the passing of ‘Abdu’l-Baha. And it was explained by Mason Remey that this was the Babi administration. This is more fully explained by Dr. Stanwick in his manuscript enclosed entitled ‘Shoghi Effendi’s Big Sting.’
Shoghi Effendi was not a male (sperm) descendant of David or Baha’u’llah, but an Afnan, as ‘Abdu’l-Baha did not adopt him. Therefore he never sat on the throne of David. Mason Remey was the first gentile king to sit upon the throne of David. Therefore he was the first guardian of the Baha’i Faith, or rather of the Kingdom of the Glory of the Father or the Abha Father Faith.
He was the embryonic head and I was the embryonic heart of the body, up and until he made his Proclamation in April of 1960 and I accepted him. My wife, Dr. Opal, received a copy of his Proclamation as the secretary of the Local Spiritual Assembly of Joplin, Missouri, just before the Convention to take place in Wilmette. I was present when the mail came and I read the Proclamation right away. I immediately accepted Mason as the guardian, and I told my wife so. I was the delegate for the state of Missouri to the convention. Upon arrival I began raising up a body from among my friends and associates, with much caution and with much success. The biggest part of the body under Mason’s guardianship was raised up by me: Audi Petzold and the Quincy, Illinois Co mm unity came in through me. I brought Rev. Petzold into the Cause and he became the President of that first National Spiritual Assembly under Mason’s guardianship. Count Harvey, Donald’s father, and I were very close friends. It was my influence as well as his son’s that brought him, his wife Pearl and the rest of the Springfield, Missouri Community, as well as the whole Joplin Missouri’s membership including my own family and many many others, into the the Faith under Mason’s guardianship. Check the records. You will find that the bulk of the body of Mason’s guardianship, including Rex King, came in due to my
34
effort. Thus the head and the heart of the body became functional at the same time.
When Mason’s grasp on the body slipped due to Rex King and to Mason’s sting operation, with Mason expelling Rex; then right after that I decided to keep my station secret and I began raising up for the Head, Mason Remey, a whole new Bodv.
In the Fall of 1969 I started having firesides in the prison while keeping my station secret until April 29, 1971. Without any help from me, Harry Stroup, an inmate and a new Baha’i under the guardianship of Mason, recognized me as the Joshua of the third chapter of Zechariah and the prison stone wall with its 7 watch towers as the stone with seven eyes. It is then that I told him that I was the Promised One and more.
That evening, the might scheduled for our bi-weekly fireside, with about 35 in attendance, I made my Proclamation, giving them the proofs; And they all accepted. At that time they were all under the guardianship of Mason Remey. This proclamation was just 108 years, and on the ninth day of Ridvan, of Baha’u’llah’s Proclamation in the Garden of Ridvan on April 21, 1863.
Although I haven’t taken the time nor the space in this epistle to qualify the Great Pyramid of Gizeh as a legitimate criteria of prophecy, this date of April 29, 1971 is prophesied in the ‘King’s Chamber, Holy of Holies.’ As well, the date for when I began my ministry on April 21, 1963 is prophesied in the King’s Chamber. There are several books written on the Great Pyramid by Baha’is Under the Covenant that show its authenticity, however I have some more to say about this later on in this epistle.
What I would like to point out here now is what Baha’u’llah has written in the Kitab i Aqdas of the date of His Proclamation, April 21, 1863, and of the date of my Proclamation on April 29, 1971. People have often wondered why Baha’u’llah made April 29th a Holy day.
“The festivals are limited to two great feasts. The first is the days in which the Merciful was revealed to those (in the realm) of the Possible by His most beautiful Names and His highest Attributes. The other (feast) is the day on which We sent Him who should tell the people the Good News of this Name by which the dead are raised and those who are in the heavens and earth are assembled” (p 54, Miller’s translation, published by the Royal Asiatic Society).
Here Baha’u’llah explains that April the 21st of 1863 refers to His Proclamation, and April the 29th refers to the Proclamation of the establisher of His revelation in the world.
Shortly after my Proclamation I wrote the article of ‘The Beast Is About To Be Dead,’ and my wife had aerial pictures taken of ‘The Stone With 7 Eves.’ I turned the whole prison upside down. When I came into the prison it was irreligious to be religious. The inmates chanted ‘Bible-back, Bible-back’ to anyone attending a religious service. There were only several attending Protestant services and the only one attending Catholic service was the altar boy. But within a short time I had a third of the inmates become Baha’is under the guardianship of Mason Remey. I taught thousands. Certainly
35
with Mason’s passing I had raised up an entire new creation, a new body.
During the days of ‘Abdu’l-Baha both I and Mason were embryonic, for ‘Abdu’l-Baha was both the head and the heart of the body. On His passing, in His Will and Testament, He separated the head and the body into the twin institutions, with. the UHJ, the heart, being elected by the body. I am the embryonic UHJ (heart); and I will be succeeded by the elected body.
When a man leaves an inheritance to a successor(s) they must be in existence, either in this world or embryonically, to share in the succession. If his wife becomes pregnant after his passing, that child is a bastard. The three International Baha’i councils, the one of Shoghi Effendi and the two of Mason Remey, were illegitimate and they were aborted in-utero. I am the only legitimate heart of the body for I am the Lamb with 7 eyes and 7 horns and the return of the sacrificial Lamb (that was the heart); it is the blood that I pump into the body and the head that gives eternal Life in the Kingdom:
“Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, ‘Who are these, clothed in white robes, and whence have they come” I said to him, ‘Sir you know.’ And he said to me, ‘These are they who come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb’” (Rev. 7:13,14).
This is not a new concept. It has been around For a long time. To better understand this I am going to quote an article written by your father, Mason Remey in 1906 and published in the Star of the West in 1913.
SERVICE IN THE KINGDOM
This article was approved by The Center of the Covenant, and some
copies in both English and Persian were spread in 1906.
“In the teachings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha is found recurring and recurring the command to SERVE: to go forth and teach and spread the glad tidings of the coming of The Kingdom*; and together with this command is his promise to all, that through doing this, his bidding, they will receive Divine confirmation and spiritual strength.
“In physical man the heart is the center of the life of the body, and from it is sent forth the blood which feeds and nourishes every part of the body. In Like manner is ‘Abdu’l-Baha the heart and center of the body of believers in the world.
“The Baha’i Faith is THE COVENANT which is in this day established upon the earth, and ‘Abdu’l-Baha is The Center of this COVENANT. From him all members of it receive spiritual force and sustenance.
“As the organs which make up the physical body of man are dependent upon connection with the heart in order that they may receive life force, so the believers–composing the spiritual body of The Faith- -are dependent upon the connection with ‘Abdu’l-Baha; for through him and through him only, can they receive the spiritual
36
force and sustenance necessary for the growth and development in The Kingdom.”
“Regarding the organs of the physical body, one sees two factors in their various workings, namely, a receiving of energy and force, and a giving off of the same. The organs receive the life force from the heart and give it off according to their various functions; however, as soon as the supply of blood is cut off, the organ ceases to function and to give off energy: and again, as soon as an organ ceases to do its work properly, the supply of life force from the heart is diminished This is a law of nature in the physical realm which governs the healthy action of every member of the physical body.
“Now consider the body of the faithful believers: If any one member severs his connection with The Center of THE COVENANT–from whom all receive their spiritual force–he ceases to be a living and active member of the body; and, again, if he be not working and performing his function in The Kingdom, the supply of spiritual sustenance flowing to him from The Center of THE COVENANT will be diminished in proportion as he fails to perform his work.
“The well-being of any organ of the human body depends upon its continued action, and upon this also depends the well-being of the human body as a whole. So it is also with the body of believers. Each one has a special and a necessary work to perform, and his own salvation, as well the general welfare of the body as a whole, depends upon his performing this duty.
“In this day the believers are being tested and tried. There are great forces in the world working against them, and only the strong and steadfast ones will be able to stand. The only way by which one can obtain spiritual force and vitality to arise above all conditions and to attain to divine development of soul is through carrying out most minutely this command of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, to work and to go forth to teach and to spread The Kingdom.
“All are standing in the “eleventh hour” or this Great Day, and no one knows when the great world tests, of which ‘Abdu’l-Baha has so often spoken, wilt be upon “the faithful.” When these calamities descend there will no longer be any time to consider ways and means for carrying out his commands.
So, now, while there is yet time, let all arise with steadfastness of purpose to carry out the Holy Command to SERVE, in order to establish themselves as faithful servants in The Lord’s Vineyard.
CHARLES MASON REMEY.
Washington, D C. January, 1906
*i. e., that the Kingdom has come.
Star of the West, vol. 4, Nov. 23, 1913, page 242, : reprinted George Ronald Inc. Oxford England, vol. 3 1984.
37
The end of the eleventh hour of the great world tests of the faithful occurred at midnight. There are 60 minutes, or 60 years, from 1906 when Mason wrote this, to 1966 when he dropped the bombshell on them, by his dissolving that NSA and expelling that Babi administration from the Kingdom. This occurred in the ‘Great Day’ of God that started in 1963 when I began my ministry.
In his Will and Testament, ‘Abdu’l-Baha continued his station of being the ‘head’ and the ‘heart’ of the body of believers. He made the guardianship the ‘head’ of the body of the UHJ (the heart), that is to be elected by the body of believers. Mason inherited the head’ as it is he who sits upon the throne. The Lamb inherits the heart by fulfilling prophecy:
“These are they who have come out of the great tribulation oppression and pressure of the Covenant-breaking hands , they have washed their robes and made them white in the bloodof the Lamb.
“Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night within his temple; and he who sits upon the throne will shelter them with his presence.
“For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water” (Rev. 7:14,15,17)
“And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,…” (Rev. 12:11).
“Then I looked, and lo, on Mount Zion [Mt, Carmel] stood the Lamb, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads [through their intellects]….it is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes: these have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb” (Rev. 14:1,4).
“Then he showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb” (Rev. 22:1).
I am the return of the Lamb that was slain: see Revelation 5:6,8,12,1 3; 6:16; 13:8.
Being the return of Jesus, I am also then the return of the Son, which is the revelation of Jesus. Jesus was the Herald of the Kingdom (‘Christ and Baha’u’llah,’ by Townsend). By the return of this revelation of the Son, the Kingdom of the Father is established on earth. That is, the Son returns to establish his Father’s Kingdom. “Figuratively speaking, the Father is the center of the brain and the Son is the center of the heart” (Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, p. 103).
It is the Son that raises up the true body, for he is the heart that pumps the blood of life into it. The whole body needs this blood of life, including you, the head; for once a head that is comatosed and non-functioning receives this blood, it comes out of its coma and begins to function.
For fifteen years now you have been in this condition, ever since the passing of your father, in January of 1974. Thus, you are still carrying out the sting operation of your father, which is the cause of the disunity that you condemn.
38
Mason, after two years of carrying out the sting operation of Shoghi Effendi, had to bring it to a halt for the good of the faith when the hands did away with the International Baha’i Council.
It is imperative for the good of the Kingdom that you receive the blood of the Lamb, so you can become functional at the head of the body for all the world to see. This is the only way that true unity can be brought about in the world, for this is the plan of God, and all else is rubbish.
I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way. From the time that I had the visitation in the fall of 1969 until April, 29, 1971 I didn’t want to assume my station. I was hoping that someone else would appear so that I could follow him. But when Harry Stroup recognized me I knew then that for the good of the Kingdom I had to come forth. It isn’t how one feels, but reality that must be followed.
There is a time for sleepfulness and there is a time for wakefulness. For fifteen years now, knowing how you felt, I }et you sleep your sleep, with only nudging you once in a while; but now it is time for you to come out of your deep slumber and to join the real world of wakefulness in the Kingdom.
This is a beautiful body. It has grown and expanded, developing its different parts and organs, and is situated now in various parts of the USA. The various members of the body have become successful in teaching the Kingdom in firesides, in giving lectures , writing the new literature, in demonstrations, in media events, getting the media involved, working in close association with. one another, in love and unity within their own communities and with other communities, ‘sane’ any form of organization, drawing their sustenance from the blood of the Lamb. ‘Abdu’l-Baha said the faith is not to be organized.
This body has been involved in various phases Of research., such as that of Dr. Trevor Stanwick Ph.D., a research scientist who has researched out many subjects such as the one enclosed. There are many more highly educated parts of this body that are doing likewise.
There are two young Jewish lads, Neal Chase and Daniel S., that are very important organs of this body. In the past Year they searched out from the Jewish literature the genealogy of Baha’u’llah, and they have written it up. There are some places in this genealogy that need enhancing. This is from the time that the exilarchs (David’s monarchy in exile in Babylonia) became converted to Islam, by the eighth Imam Al Rida in 817 AD. From this date on the history of the exilarchs are no longer found in the Jewish literature. Because of the conversion to Islam the rabbis defected. They separated themselves from the exilarchs, just like the hands that separated themselves from the guardians. The Rabbis have no divine authority for their existence without the Davidic kings seated on the throne. Just Like the hands. They have no divine authority for their existance without the Davidic kings entitled the guardians. Shoghi Effendi gave the genealogy of Baha’u’llah back to the 1600’s in one of ‘The Baha’i World’ books. This leaves an eight hundred year gap.
The genealogy of Baha’u’llah from Bostanai and Yazdegird III to
39
Baha’u’llah, was once available. It was a father to-son descendance, including the names, professions and entitlements. The records show that both Baha’u’llah and His brother had copies of this genealogy. Mirza-Abul-Fadl had a copy of this genealogy but when he was put in jail it became lost. It is our opinion that this genealogy has been kept hidden until the body appeared that was capable of properly utilizing it for the establishment of the Kingdom of God. That time now come.
We also are under the perception that this genealogy, that was so kept from King David to Baha’u’llah, is the key factor in any criminal prosecution of those that have placed the abomination of desolation (Matt. 24:15) in a place where it ought not to be; when they placed their headless handless body on Mt. Carmel in the place of the throne of David that Baha’u’llah placed on Mt. Carmel.
We are of the impression that this practice of passing this genealogy down from father to son was continued by Baha’u’llah passing this genealogy to His son ‘Abdu’l-Baha, and he passed it down to his son Mason Remey and then to you, this being kept under wraps until the Lamb raised up the body to have it then used for its intended purpose of establishing the king in all the world. This was not to take place until the true body appeared. It also cannot happen until the king is anointed by the High. Priest as the king over the body.
Previously I have shown you the reason that Mason adopted and appointed you to be his successor, although you knew nothing of the Faith and were unwilling to Learn, also being indifferent to succeed him, was to insure that his sting operation would be a success. This was for the very good reason: to remove from the Faith those that were unwilling to go according to the Holy text, i.e. the provisions in the Sacred Will for the succession of David’s throne. For this is the core of the Kingdom, this is the Charter of the ‘World Order of Baha’u’llah.’ The purpose of this test was so that somewhere down the line, after the Kingdom is established, nobody would ever dare to go against the text of that Sacred Document; as the scriptures are full of prophecies of the dreadful things that are to fall upon the violators. This was so this descent and the throne would exist forever.
Also, Mason choosing you to succeed him was like Samuel choosing David to be King over Israel, the difference being, you’re to be King of Israel over the entire world. Like David, you were to suffer vicissitudes to bring you to a state where you are ready to be anointed king to sit on the throne of David in exile.
Mason was like Samuel the judge, for Mason was appointed by Shoghi Effendi to be the judge of the World Court to be established in 1963. And Samuel the judge was commissioned by God to go to Jesse and pick one of his sons to be king over Israel (1 Sam. 16:1). So Jesse paraded 7 of his sons before Samuel. These sons were all elegant. They were gorgeously dressed and schooled in the religion of Moses. They were like the aspirants to be guardian that were paraded before Mason. When the first son, Eli’ab, was brought before him: “He looked and thought, ‘Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him,’ But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him: for the
40
Lord sees not as man sees; man looks on the out-ward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart’” (1 Sam. 16:7).
Then the rest of the sons were presented to him and God rejected them all. So Samuel wanted to know, Don’t you have another son? Well, yes, said Jesse, but, he doesn’t know anything (he hadn’t been taught the revelation of Moses). Then Jesse said to Samuel: “There remains yet the youngest, but behold he is keeping the sheep” (1 Sam. 16:11). So David was brought before Samuel: “And the Lord said ‘arise, anoint him, for this is he.’ Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him….and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward” (Sam. 16:12,13).
So when God chose you, then Mason adopted you and he anointed you, by appointing you to be his successor.
Before David could sit upon the throne of Judah he had to be anointed by the men of Judah (the body). The heart of the body is the High Priest, therefore the body of Judah anointed David (2 Sam. 2:4). So as David was anointed by the heart and body of Judah, so shall you have to be anointed before you sit upon the throne of the body of believers.
Next, Moses Maimonides (1135-1204) is the most well-known Jewish Law codifier whose writings the Jews always consult and regard as second only to those of Moses, especially in the State of Israel. The code of Maimonides concerning the king is in exhibit #19, enclosed. In the prosecution of the Covenant-breakers for their grand theft of the Huquq, the Justice department of the Israeli court will largely go by the code of Maimonides.
“A king succeeding his father is not anointed unless his right to succession is contested or violently resisted, in which case he is anointed to put an end to the opposition. Thus Solomon was anointed because of the pretension of Adonijah, Joash because of the machinations of Athaliah, and Jehoahaz because of the claim of Jehoiakim, his brother” (exhibit #22 p 209).
Jesus and Baha’u’llah were anointed by the Holy Spirit. The kings are anointed by the High Priest.
“There Zodak the priest took the horn of oil from the tent, and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, ‘Long live King Solomon!’” (1 Kings 1:39).
Your right to the succession is contested by the various groups that you mention: those that support the continuation of the guardianship but violate the charter of the ‘World Order of Baha’u’llah,’ i.e., the Sacred Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Baha; and the false guardians such as Joel Marangella and Donald Harvey, as well as the sans guardian Covenant-breakers. Therefore it is imperative that you be anointed by the High Priest. There is just one High Priest in the world today.
The Aaronic priesthood came to an end. A priest of a higher order is provided: a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. Read Hebrews. Jesus was such a priest, who returns as Leland in the third chapter of Zechariah. Once you are anointed by him it will lay
41
to rest forever the dissension and conflict that now besiege the troubled minds that have been led astray by imposters and troublemakers. Thus, this will ultimately bring about true world unity and peace.
The architect of the Great Pyramid was Imenhotep, or Enoch: the House of Hanok, who was the seventh generation of Adam. It was built as a Bible in Stone to reveal the Divine plan of the Adamic cycle by giving the dates of all the nine Manifestations including Adam and Baha’u’llah. This gives their authenticity, showing that they were in the Divine Plan or God from the beginning. See one of the manuscripts by Jerome Hellman that is soon to be published in Anita’s book of nine authors.
The prophecies in this Great Pyramid are in graphic form with the pathways representing a chronological time scale, and each Pyramid inch representing one solar year. The ascending passageway including the Grand Gallery come to an end at the great step or the Altar Stone on March 21, 1844, the start of the new calendar for the New Age. This calendar has nineteen months of nineteen days each, with four and one fourth intercalary days. From this point on in the Pyramid, each inch represents one Baha’i month of nineteen days, with each day representing One year. Nineteen of these months plus the four and a fourth intercalary days bring us to April 21, 1863, at the very entrance of the King’s Chamber (Baha’u’llah’s) the Holy of Holies.
The chocolate granite box in the Holy of Holies represents the Ark or Baha’u’llah’s Covenant because it has the same measurements as the Ark of the Covenant in the Temple of Moses. The two chambers at the upper end of the Grand Gallery in the Pyramid: the sanctuary and the Holy of Holies, with the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies, make up the prototype model that God had Moses use as a model to build his replica Tabernacle. The date at the end of the Grand Gallery gives the date that mankind comes to the Archetypical Temple that replaces the replica that Moses constructed. That is why the replica is destroyed, never again to be rebuilt.
The Pyramid was built with porous limestone which is sedimentary rock that represents the time scale that leads to the Red Granite. Every so often in the passageways we come to a Red Granite rock or block. Red granite is fire-born and represents the spiritual event of the coming of a Promised One of God.
In the Holy of Holies the system changes. All of the slabs are Red Granite. They line the four walls, the floor and the ceiling, which consists of nine Red Granite beams weighing 95 tons each. These give, in a unique way, the dates for the advent of the High Priest that alone stands in the Holy of Holies. The 100 inlaid slabs of Red Granite that form the four walls of the Holy of Holies represent the 100 years that begin where the Holy of Holies starts, with the Proclamation of Baha’u’llah on April 21, 1863, and end when I, the High Priest, began my Mission on April 21, 1963. I began my mission on that date by being opposed by Satan: fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel of 12:12 of the 1335 days or years, and fulfilling the prophecy of being opposed by Satan in Zechariah 3:1. This is in complete harmony with the scriptures as already advanced in this epistle.
42
The date represented by the 108 Red Granite slabs forming the floor also is figuring beginning with the Proclamation of Baha’u’llah on April 21, 1863. With each slab representing one year, they bring us to April, 21, 1971. April 21 is the first day of Ridvan and April 29 is the 9th day of Ridvan. The nine days which bring us to my Proclamation on April 29, 1971 are represented by the 9 Red Granite beams forming the ceiling.
Thus, all the Red Granite lining the Holy of Holies prophesy the dates for the advent of one person: the High Priest that alone stands in the Holy of Holies at those dates; who alone has the knowledge of or the religions of God, and alone being the only person that can anoint a king; for I am of the Highest Order of High Priests, far above the Aaronic priests that came to an end (Heb. 7). I am a High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, as was Jesus, for I fulfill the prophecies of the return of Jesus the High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek.
I alone am that High Priest and, I, as that High Priest, summon you, Joseph Pepe Remey Aghsan, to come before me and be anointed. Once you are anointed king you then sit upon your throne in exile.
“All the people come before you when you are disposed to see them, they stand in your presence, and bow down to the ground. Even the prophet stands in the presence of the king and bows down to the ground, as it is written: “‘Behold Nathan the prophet.’ And when he was come in before the king, he bowed down before the king with his face to the ground” 1 Kings 1:23 (Code of Maimonides, Code #22 chapter II:5, p. 212).
“The High Priest, however, comes before the king only when he is disposed to do it; he does not stand in his presence, but the king stands before him, as it is said: ‘And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest (Num. 27:21).’ Nevertheless, it is the duty of the High Priest to give honor to the king, to ask him to be seated, to rise before him when the Latter comes to see him. The king therefore shall not stand in his presence save when he asks him for directions given by means of the urim” (Code of Maimonides, Code #22 chapter II:5, p. 211 ).
“For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him; and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. . . . . See how great he is! Abraham the patriarch gave him a tithe of the spoils. . . . It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior…” (Heb. 7:1-7).
I can’t be a High Priest after the order of Aaron, as it came to an end. Fulfilling the prophecies for the return of Jesus, who was a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, my function is that of Melchizedek.
Shem, the beloved son of Noah, was Melchizedek. He lived for five hundred years after the flood He was the defender of the one true God concept of Adam, after Nimrod became Satan when he defected from that concept and returned the people to Paganism and designated himself as Saturn. We get the name Satan as a form of the word
43
Saturn. Nimrod’s defection and his wife’s invention of the trinity doctrine which became a universal Pagan religion, is the cause of all the trouble in the world. This caused Shem to flee to Palestine and build Jerusalem.
One other person, Abraham, who also fled from the city of Ur at the Euphrates to Palestine for harboring such beliefs in the One True God, met Shem (Melchizedek), after returning from slaughtering the Pagan kings. Melchizedek blessed him (Heb. 7:1). What is meant here is that when Shem blessed Abraham, it represents the fact that he taught Abraham the Adamic Revelation that had become lost to the world because of Nimrod and Semiramis. Shem was greater than Abraham, the patriarch, because he possessed this knowledge.
The High Priest that anointed the kings were greater than the kings, for they possessed the knowledge of Moses. They anointed the kings of Judah with olive oil, which is the anointment oil, for the Davidic kings of this line are to exist forever. Olive oil is essential for it is the symbol of illumination, as they used olive oil to fuel their lamps. Although the anointing with oil is essential, it is symbolic of illuminating the kings with knowledge, which is of the utmost importance.
Today the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek alone has the knowledge to establish the Kingdom. That is why the Great Pyramid was built to graphically illustrate that just one person, the High Priest, in this day possesses this knowledge. Therefore the king must stand before the High Priest and receive this knowledge. ‘Abdu’l-Baha wrote of the coming of this one person:
“‘Verily that Infant is born and exists and there will appear from his cause a wonder which thou wilt hear in the future. Thou shalt see Him with the most perfect form, most great gift, most complete perfection, most great power and strongest might! His face glisteneth a glistening whereby the horizons are illumined! Therefore, forget not this account as long as thou art living, for as much as there are signs for it in the passing centuries and ages” (Tablets of Abdu’l-Baha Abbas, Baha’i Publishing Committee, New York, NY, 1930, p 484).
“O thou dear friend! – Know that the Distinguished Individual of every age is according to the virtues of that age. The Distinguished Personage who was in the former cycle, His power and virtues were according to the former age, but in this brilliant age and divine cycle, the noble Personage, the Radiant Star, the Distinguished one, will manifest with virtues which will eventually amaze the peoples, for he is in spiritual virtues and divine perfections loftier than all the Individuals; nay, rather, He is the Source of Divine Benediction and the Center of the Radiant Circle. He is certainly comprehensive. There is no doubt that He will reveal Himself to such a degree as to bring all under his overshadowing shelter” (Tablets of Abdu’l-Baha Abbas, p. 541).
May I strongly urge you to honor this summons just as soon as it is physically possible.
You come to America each summer. This is ideal. It would please

me to anoint you in the city of the Covenant: New York. This is where Mason had filed many of his papers, and where much of the research was done by the members of the body, in the various universities and libraries. However if a more convenient location is shown, that would be alright also, for action is of the essence.
In this enlightening it essential to have the assistance of several knowledgeable persons, like when Solomon was anointed by the High priest Zodak he was assisted by Nathan the prophet.
In the human body the heart gets the blood that it pumps from the food absorbed from the intestinal track. But this food becomes enlightened by very special organs that take their nourishment from the blood and give back to the blood their gifts which are essential to life and health, such as ductless glands and the lungs. The lungs oxygenates the blood, the pancreas dumps insulin into the blood that metabolizes sugars, etc.
In the body of the Kingdom there are specialized persons that perform in a like manner of the physical body. You have deprived yourself so long from the proper nourishment that you are so far behind that it will take sometime for you to catch up. To facilitate this enlightening process I will be able to have some of these experts assist me in anointing you king. At any rate, thorough and rapid oommunications need to be established.
I hope that you understand these writings are meant to be offered in the frame of the deep love that I have for you and for the Kingdom. I also want you to know that I had the deepest love for your father, Mason, and at no time had I ever left him nor have I ever left you, neither did I desert Shoghi Effendi. Why else would I work ceaselessly for the Cause of God?
With heart and head
Working together
In the Abha Kingdom
