From out all the nations of the earth a certain number are being made ready today by the Angel of the New Light, who makes preparation for this New Birth; whether the ones so prepared are to be found in the present, or in the embodiments which shall follow, still this preparation goes on; and all of those who can hear and understand will be on the earth to receive the new Messiah. Such preparation-has never been before, although something similar has always transpired with the coming of each Dispensation. But every thread and line of descent has to be taken up and made complete. Every Dispensation has yielded somewhat of the numbers required unto this, so that from the Orient, from every past system of religion, any traces of which still remain on or in the spirit states of earth, there will be those who are ready to be gathered unto the Kingdom that is to be the basis of the New Life.
Such minds and hearts as have received these teachings and understand them, shall give forth in their teachings and in their works, that which will bear the seed to many thousands of lives. Even as a mighty wave that bears all lesser waves upon its crest, impelling them forward with such force until they reach the shore in a crown of spray, each throb of which is a pearl of light transcendent and divine, so does this mighty impetus come from the Archangelic throng; and so the New Light appeareth.
The Earth meanwhile, touched by the breath of this New Life, will have new blossomings of all lovely forms. Gradually the Angel of Harmony, who ushers in the New Dispensation of Love, will visit the Earth with mighty tokens of power; for a time discord, dissonance and warfare will cease. Gradually the arbitrament of the sword will be unknown; gradually nations will be ashamed to engage in such cruel conflict. The suggestions of world-wide Harmony among People, Governments and Religions, which have only rested in a few inspired minds, will be the possession of many; for under the dominion of this Arch Angel of Light the New Life will be reflected long ere it comes, long ere the visible form shall appear.
Because this is to be the Dispensation of Love, so must there be mighty preparation. So the lives that are chosen, the souls that are to be made ready, must be made more and more aware. In the new Kingdom, when it shall appear, there will be no souls companionless, no lives that are not a portion of a perfect whole, naught in that especial time and place and people that receive the New Birth save the light of perfect Love.
Many will wander up and down the Earth seeking this place; many who magnify their own inspiration will think that "this light has already come to dwell with us." Be not deceived; the promises of the dawn are sometimes mistaken for the day. Many think when human love comes, that they have received the perfect light of heavenly love.
