1. (June 7, 1973) MO PRAYS : Bless this son, Lord, who speaks the Words of his Father, and bless this little one who strives to find the will of his Father, and bless this one who seeks to obey his Father. May the Lord help him to find wisdom in the Words of his father David. Hear these Words which reflect the thoughts of thy Father. Marvellous are the leadings of the Lord! The wisdom of these Words is as the wisdom of God. O Lord, help him to understand the Words of his father. To hear from God is more important then to hear from man. The Lord will hide nothing from his servants the prophets.
2. (July 11, 1973) (FOR EUROPE:) WHY SEEK YE OIL AT THE HANDS OF THE EVIL AMERICANS IN YOUR NORTH SEA when there is oil and plenty to spare at the hand of your son at the South Sea!
3. WE GOT TO WRITE [A] LETTER! We must send it right away. [He] needs to know, OK? He needs to hear from God's prophet to know that there is a new prophet in the land.
4. (MARIA: WILL HE ACCEPT A NEW PROPHET?) He will listen. He will listen, and he will know he speaks the truth, and he will love us 'cause we love him. He seeks to hear the voice of God and sincerely wants to hear, and God will speak to him through God's prophet. And if he listens‚ God will bless him. But if he heeds not‚ God will curse him. But he will listen, for he longs to hear the voice of God. We must tell him when we come we are very sorry we went to Israel and we do not speak Arabic, but to please call ______ and he will confirm that we love their leader. And we must see him to tell him the Words of God.
5. (MARIA: IS _______ STILL THERE?) He still works for them. (When are we going to go?) When we go. (Pretty soon?) This is not for you to know. You must not ask the things which God has hidden from you for your own good. He will hear the Words and he will receive him, for he will know that they be of God and he needs them. He will receive us however we want‚ in person or otherwise. For we are both kings and have respect to each other.—In time.—In God's time.—When the time comes.
6. (DOES THE LORD HAVE ANY MORE TO TELL [HIM]?) Oh, much‚ much, for he is My instrument. Much, much will come from his work. (Must he get all his orders from the Lord through you?) No, no, he gets much directly.
7. (July 20, 1973) For he is... (MO pauses silently)—(Maria: He is what?) AND HE IS THE EIGHTH WHICH SHALL BE WOUNDED UNTO DEATH, AND YET SHALL HE ARISE AGAIN and shall rule as I have promised. Even so shall I fulfil the Words which I have spoken to thy Father. (O Jesus, help him to believe! Help him that he shall fulfil Thy will!) (Maria: Who is the eighth?) Search the Scriptures for they shall reveal unto thee the Words of thy Father's bosom. I speak of him.—If he shall fulfil the Words of My heart and the thoughts of My bosom, he is faithful.
8. O MY GOD‚ MY GOD, MY GOD! IN JESUS' NAME! BLESS THIS YOUNG MAN, O God, who hungers after Thee. Bless him, help him, encourage him, inspire him‚ protect him, Lord Jesus, he who glorifies Thee and proclaims Thy Name! O God have mercy! Have mercy upon him, O Lord, and give courage unto his faith and give credence to his words.—Thank You, Jesus!—That they may know that Thou hast done this and glorify Thy Name. For Thou art He which doth propose and dispose all things‚ and the end of the matter is from Thee.
9. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT ABOUT [HIS] FIRST NAME ‚ because I often use it when l pray for him in the Spirit: the thing that comes to me is that it means a lover of the messenger of God. Could it mean that? Maybe that's why he'll love us because he respects the prophets.
10. EVEN THE ANTICHRIST COULD HAVE STARTED OUT SERVING THE LORD and supposedly worshipping God! It does say of the Antichrist that in the long run he doesn't honour the God of his fathers, so obviously his fathers did have God and he came from some faith that honoured Him. But I never thought of him as starting out as a servant of God to do the will of God. As I pondered this, immediately I got a picture of Satan's fall and this message; "Why should this be strange? This is the way Lucifer began, as a servant of God! But then in his pride his heart was lifted against Me."
11. YOU SEE, GOD COULD WANT TO USE HIM TO HELP SAVE THE WORLD AND DIVIDE THE FORCES OF CAPITALISM AND COMMUNISM AND RAISE UP A THIRD WORLD POWER. After all‚ the Antichrist couldn't be raised up with out the power of God. God has to permit it and ordain it, and he will do the world good at first. But then his heart could become proud.—Just like the Devil: He started out right and wound up wrong, because he was not satisfied with just being the hand of God, but wanted to be God. I thought‚ "How could he be so good and yet become so bad?" Well, that's the way the Devil became, and many men have done that though history, when you come to think of it‚ even some of the prophets. But then they became lifted up in pride and exalted in self-glorification, and therefore lost the blessing of God.
12. IT IS IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK THAT HE CHANGES, apparently, profanes the altar and exalts himself as God. It appears that during the first three and a half years he has the blessing of God, because how could he rule the world without the permission of God? But then when he becomes exalted and forgets that God is doing it, and begins self-worship‚ then begins the time of the world's great Trouble—and his too!
13. The Antichrist is Man's last-ditch stand with the most perfect government and most perfect ruler, and yet it will fail because he doesn't give God the glory, So why shouldn't we, if we're going to be preserved and God is going to keep us, begin from scratch with that very power ? This is the way many prophets operated, from Joseph to Daniel and others: They lived and worked under the protection of heathen kings! As long as he's doing the Will of God, why couldn't we work with him?
14. THE LORD SAID, "WHY DOST THOU ASK THESE FOOLISH VAIN QUESTIONS!" I've always questioned things, but I know that God's Word is going to be fulfilled!
