I AM HERE. Elias. (Elijah of the Old Testament)

I was the prophet of old, and am now an inhabitant of the Celestial Heavens and an immortal child of the Father.

I have been present on several occasions when the high spirits were writing to you, and I have been much interested in the work which they and you are doing. You are doing a wonderful work in helping the dark spirits of suffering,^[1] and in bringing these spirits in close communion with the higher spirits who can show them the Way to the Father’s Love.

I would like to write you a long message tonight upon the history of the times in which I lived, and upon the knowledge that we, who were looked upon and written about as prophets, had as to the relationship between God and man; also, what some of our experiences were with the spirits of the heavens who came to us and communicated some of the Truths of the Father. And I will say that, in all our knowledge of truth, we never understood what the Divine Love of the Father was as distinguished from the love that He bestowed on all men, irrespective of their seeking for His Love, and irrespective of the fact that they were sinful and disobedient to His Commands. As I know now, we could not have understood what this Divine Love meant or ever have possessed It; for, in my time, and until the coming of Jesus, this privilege of men receiving It did not exist. The Father had withdrawn this privilege from humanity.

But we did receive spiritual knowledge of those things that would make man better in his moral nature and would bring him closer to the Father in his natural love. Our efforts were directed towards making people understand these things and the necessity of complying with the moral laws.

As I said, I should like to write you a long message, but there is another present who desires to write and I will stop. But I will come soon and deliver my message, and, in the meantime, I will pray for you and try to help you in your soul development and in your work.

With all my love and blessings, I will say good night.

Your brother in Christ,

ELIAS.
