Ancient Antiochene
Mysteries

“Mystery, God Speak – Word, Nature, Holy Spirit.”
By presbyter Eric William King (February 21st

God created a
huge universe, [perhaps universes], with what intention? Seems He is allowing
it to become an enormous playground for life to develop, experience, learn,
grow, mature and transform. All life on planet Earth is moving and experiencing
some level of existence. We are informed that “the Christ”, the “Logos” created
all things.
We have a
starting point and a finish. How will you finish? God has revealed Himself
through His word and through creation. St. Martin Luther testified that a
person must hear the Word of God to receive the proper voice of the One True
God. We have called this “sola Scriptura”,
or “the Scriptures alone”. This does not mean that God doesn’t speak His
Word through the mouth of Humans and through the Laws of Nature, because He
does.
As “Ancient Antiochene Christians” we believe that
God can “call” through the experiencing of His natural laws, through the beauty of
creation. The two means through which true salvation is secured is through
the hearing of the Word and through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit can draw and call, through the things of
creation. As Christian mystics we truly understand this. God can reveal Himself
in many ways. To accept Him is to hear His voice through His word.
Every breath we
take we have been given the gift of life. Our Creator has given us His precious
word so that we can hear Him speak and learn His voice. Just as no tree can
grow without water so too, we must “drink the water of God’s Word” so that we
can develop strong roots and grow.
As Christians
we go through trials and we stand in the spiritual “alchemical flame”.
Hopefully we have Jesus Christ living inside us so that true transmutation
can occur. The Holy Spirit [Sophia]
is working to shape and change the personal Human character after the “image of
Christ Jesus”. This is a life process with the Christian. Jesus gives us the
root of humility to make it through many difficulties.
If we seek the
sacred knowledge of God we must approach with true humility. Never must we seek
for our own honor or power. We should not be in the sole business of always
having to vindicate ourselves. Not until we look closely at the humility of
Christ will we see our true condition. We spend too much time worrying about
what everybody else might be thinking instead of focusing on doing our own
personal daily work.
Time for the
East and the West to learn the important message of PROPER CHANGE. It starts by
learning to listen to God.
God says to His true children; “For I give you good doctrine.” (Proverbs 4:2)
Unfortunately, just as many ancient Israelites rejected the prophets, many
today say to us; “Keep your doctrines to yourself. I am satisfied (lukewarm)
with my religion and I reject your deception.” So, they remain unteachable.
The Word of God states: “He who answers a
matter before he hears it, It is folly and shame to him.” (Proverbs
18:13) My prayer is that you take time out to hear (understand) what I
have to say (truly listen). Test all things by the Word of God (John 17:17).
God has sent YOU a message! Throughout time God has offered a portion of His
mind - His thoughts - to humanity (2nd Peter 1:4). We understand seven
major dispensations of time since Adam & Eve. Most of humanity has
rejected the covenants that God has made with humanity; throughout
time.
The United States of America and many other countries are falling apart
because they have turned away from the prophets of God and the Seventh Message. “And
the Lord God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising
up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His
dwelling place. But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words,
and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against
His people, till there was no remedy.” (2nd
Chronicles 36:15,16)
We are learning
how God speaks, may we learn to listen.

“I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence. Believe me, everything that we call chance today won’t make sense anymore. To me it is clear that we exist in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance.” ~ Michio Kaku
