Jesus said, "Elijah is to come to see that everything is once more as it should be. However, I tell you that Elijah has come already and they did not recognise him but treated him s they pleased; and the son of Man will suffer similarly at their hands"
Matthew 17:12-13

The Father's loving purpose seeks to build up in the hearts and minds of His beloved children a reflection of his love and to further their lives and the community of nations and peoples in peaceful, constructive, harmonious living. The contrary forces perpetually oppose this purpose though their purpose is negative and their resources limited and puny. Man's own unredeemed nature is one of these contrary forces, the natural, thrusting, unselfgiving self which is changed by grace into eternal soul as it seeks the source and light and power of radiant life. The other force which contends against productive life is that negative, destructive force which is recognised when encountered as the force of evil. Doomed in the process of time for destruction this power, limited as it is and without claim or effect upon the Father's committed ones, has attraction for the uncommitted in love that sometimes dally with it and can be consumed by it unless they seek retrieval.

Upon this world scene the Father's light has shone from the beginning, His life and love penetrated and embraced from the beginning and continues to penetrate today the fastnesses of unlove and self-destruction. To this end have I come to proclaim, prepare and teach, the Father's harbinger of love and redemption and Incarnate Love Himself. Through the lives and deaths of these holy ones and of Incarnate Love himself the way is made and offered for progress to eternal joy. So has it been and so will it be until the end of time.
