world peace: we cannot continue to search for “peace and security” at the same time, as Paul of Tarsus said in Chapter 5 of his first Epistle to the Thessalonians. The perfect meeting of science and religion in our epoch, the age of Apocalypse (or revelation), where the two blend so perfectly: all the religious writings, notably The Bible, have announced the return of the great prophets — nearly 40 in all — in the company of our creators, the Elohim. When I had finished reading these first two messages, I felt vividly inside me the hypocrisy of Christians who pray only from their lips, while the precept of loving their neighbors is almost always forgotten. I felt this temporal and spiritual domination of the Church by the money and the riches which it has accumulated. This domination is maintained and encouraged by the political powers which see only advantages in it; I felt this mystification which only makes people dormant; we are far from the vigilance recommended by Jesus, to read the signs of the time, and recognize them when they happen; but it is the cult of the traditions which has made people blind. I remember those words from the book of Ecclesiastes, 7:10, “Do not say: how is it that the past is better than the present, for it is not wise to pose such a question.’ To me it felt that this guilt of conscience was accentuated by the idea that Man is a sinner, that Man is imperfect, explained by this rejection of intelligence, ie. Man is told to believe without understanding, and maintained by the idea that sexual pleasure or even sensuality is contemptible. I have linked the signs of the time announced in the religious writings with our epoch where we see them happen. This epoch is ours, the Age of the Apocalypse or the Age of the Revelation, when everything can be understood. The signs of the time reveal the original mystery in the light of scientific progress. Anyone who searches in The Bible in particular, and compares the predictions with the achievements of our scientific age, unveils, ascertains and understands only that which is “the foundation of the Earth’, and that which has been kept hidden since the “foundation of the world”. 337 COMMENTARIES & TESTIMONIALS OF RAELIANS - IMPRESSIONS OF A PRIEST
