"He, whose wisdom was far greater than ours, and whose love more than contained all that we are capable of, could forsee all things, and understand all things. He taught us that patience is one of the great paths to everlasting life.” "The evil which has taken possession of so many rebellious brothers is so tough, it will only meet resistance with counter-resistance? the patience and suffering of good people stand in contrast to this. They will gain the victory over error. To meet violence with violence, force with force, and evil with evil, would not root out the latter, but would only create favorable conditions for the triumph of evil itself, as has happened time and again over the past thousands of years on Earth. Our understanding allows us to avoid such errors. Thus the scriptures refer to the patience of the righteous and of the saints." He was silent and it seemed as though he was well aware of how much trouble and sorrow there was on Earth. His countenance brightened to a smile that indicated hope, and he went on; "We have said to you that this is really the end of evil on Earth. Already the seventh trumpet stands ready to announce the tidings of release. The seventh seal is already broken, through the action of the One who never lies. The cup of Godly anger is filled for those who, for a long time, have taken perverted delight in the suffering of others." These last words were spoken in a strong voice, and | was troubled and astonished to hear them. Paul, who always had so little to say, looked at him and asked, "How is it possible to reconcile the love of the Father and the universal brotherhood with the Godly anger, that you have just spoken of?" The man sighed. "When a father has good children and obstinate children," he said in a low voice, "he first gives a warning to the unruly ones. When, however, they continue to ignore the fatherly advice, and stubbornly act so as to endanger both themselves and their brothers, then the father's warning becomes stronger. But the father's severity is not ill-intentioned. He is a good father, and his only concern is for his sons to use good judgement, for their own sakes. If, however, the sons persist in insane acts which threaten their own existence, the father will have no recourse but to use all his might to avoid such a disaster. And when an incorrigible son turns against him in contempt, and inflicts unending sorrows on his brothers as a result of a self-seeking desire to dominate others by might, and to impose his own will at all costs, then will the father, spurned and betrayed, find that his heart burns with anger. A strong punishment will then be the last possible means to prevent the total corruption of the recalcitrant one, who otherwise would subvert the good and peaceable sons. The people of Earth should come to realize that the Godly anger, which the scriptures often refer to, is not just a poetic figure of speech, but the greatest sign of the Father God's love for His wayward children.” "We worship God for His loving-kindness, His mercy, and His justice, which are infinite. But we also worship Him for His Godly anger over the children of Earth, who have brought about the conditions for the destruction of their own consciousness, and the material life of the planet." He drew his hand across his forehead, then drank a small amount from a cup. At this point, Raphael took over the discourse, and said, in his pleasing and earnest manner, "Yes, the people of Earth are arming themselves for the destruction of the planet. They have amassed an enormous quantity of deadly weapons, and seek to justify this by maintaining that if they did not do it, the others would. That is as if we were to arm ourselves to the teeth in order to destroy the people of Earth, and God the Father were to say, if we were not to do it, then the people of Earth would. That is an insane philosophy, which has been used on Earth through the ages to justify evil in all its forms. However, that will in no way absolve man of the crime of preparing for the destruction of one of the most beautiful dwelling places in the universal Father's kingdom!" 60 ANGELS IN STARSHIPS www.cosmic-people.com
