Elias Was Not John, the Baptist. Neither Was John a Reincarnation of Elias.
ELIAS, PROPHET OF OLD
(February 7th 1917 | Received by James Padgett)

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

I also want to encourage you in the belief that you have the great work to do, and that you must not falter or delay the coming of the messages. For, if you will only think for a moment, you will realize that there is no other way in which these Truths can be conveyed to mankind at this time.

You must not doubt or, rather, believe for a moment that the work has been imposed upon you as one not fitted to receive these Truths. I know it is hard for you to believe at times that you have been selected to do this great work, or that you are fitted to receive these great spiritual Truths that are to be given to the world, but you must not let such thoughts linger in your mind. For it is a fact that you have been selected to do the work, and you must not shirk it. If you do, mankind may remain a long time in ignorance of what the Truth is, and of the Way by which they can take on the Essence of the Father, thus becoming His true children and partakers of His Nature—this, so that the very Essence and Divinity of the Father may become a part of the people.

The work must be done by you and you must not doubt. You must have a firm conviction of its Truth and must try your best to receive the messages.

I merely wanted to say this much, as I am very interested in the work.

(Mr. Padgett asked a question.)

Yes, there are a great number present, and you have around you a wonderful spiritual influence which should cause you to believe that these spirits are present trying to help you.

(Mr. Padgett asked another question.)

I was Elijah of the Old Testament, and I actually lived and was a prophet among the Jews. I was not John, the Baptist, nor was he a reincarnation of me, as some of earth’s teachers claim. John was himself, alone. He was in the flesh only once, and was not a reincarnation of me or of anyone else.

I will not write more now. So, good night.

Your brother in Christ,

ELIAS.
