SERIES: JANUS: The Return Of The "God" Of New Beginnings Part 3: Keys And Doors From The Past By Ed Tarkowski The Promise Of "One" To Come The current Pope is feverishly working towards unity of the masses, and he will open the Holy Door in Rome to begin the "reconciliation of the whole Church." If there was a statement in the past that showed a pope had been promised the key to open this door according to these purposes, then we would see this as anything but a momentary inspiration. We would see it as a plan worked out over a vast expanse of time. Well, there IS such a promise of a pope who would open this door on the day that celebrates the birthing of "Christ" as an offer of global reconciliation to humanity. In his book, "The Star of 2000," Jay Gary writes, "Like the ancient jubilee of Moses, the jubilee of Jesus suggests that each generation must respond to God's decree of liberty. This act of celebrating the grace of Christ and His redemptive work has not been lost on successive generations. "In A.D. 1300 [700 years Ago], Pope Boniface VIII, without any precedents, instituted a tradition within the Roman Catholic Church of celebrating every 100 years as a Holy Year of Jubilee. "From all over Europe, pilgrims streamed to Rome to experience forgiveness and spiritual renewal. "'It was a wonderful spectacle,' wrote Giovanni Villani, Florentine merchant and chronicler, . . .' Boniface's Jubilee year was 'a centennial celebration of a new age that would begin with the clean slate of a year of absolution.' (Gary citing Schwartz, Hillel. 'Centuries End: A cultural history of the fin de siecle from the 990s through the 1990s,' Doubleday, 1990, p. 58). "Fifty years later a delegation came to Pope Clement to ask for a reduction of the Jubilee interval from one hundred years to fifty. They were desirous that their generation might experience the blessings of a Holy Year. "They reported that on the night before their audience with the pope 'there appeared to us a vision of a certain venerable personage bearing two keys in his hand, who addressed to us the following words, "Open the door, and from it send forth a fire by which the whole world may be warmed and enlightened."' It is reported that the pope was so moved by their experience that he declared A.D. 1350 as a Holy Year. "A tradition developed that the Jubilee year began on Christmas Eve with the opening of a sealed golden door in St. Peter's Basilica. It affirmed that as the pope struck the holy door with a golden hammer, living streams of grace and pardon from Christ, the rock, were released. The inheritance of the fathers restored to the sons." Remember the vision described to Pope Clement, and its details, because this was not the only prophecy out of the annals of time that promised such a personage. The delegation to Pope Clement saw "a venerable personage" with two keys which would open the door and release a fire that would enlighten the whole world. That vision referred to "a sealed golden door in St. Peter's Basilica," a symbol of spiritual realities that would "send forth a fire by which the whole world may be warmed and enlightened." Prophecies concerning fires spreading across the world are rampant in the Revival. But now there are many words coming forth concerning the culmination of "old" things, and the opening of a door to futher the things that have been accomplished. Another likeness common to both the Revival and the Catholic agenda is the raising up of a corporate body. Confirming The "One" To Come After the world emerged from the dark ages, when it was blighted by a famine of the word of God and lack of the living water of the Holy Spirit, the enemy wasted no time in setting up the foundation for his end-time illusion. A prophetic message came through a 17th century mystic, Jane Lead, in her delivery of "A Third Message to the Philadelphian Society -1698": "Now to you first of the Roman Church, who plead your Antiquity and Succession from the Apostolical Fountain: Cautioned and counselled you are to try whether your Title hereunto by your Practice and Conformity thereto can be made good. For know there is a Fiery Law gone forth out of the Mouth of the Great Apostle of our Profession Christ Jesus: yea a Spirit of Burning and Judgment, to try both your Ways, Works & Worships. So that whatever is found Light that cannot Balance the Golden Grain, and whatever is superfluous and drossy, you must expect will be devoured by the fervent heat of God's Love Jealousie. Therefore a Call is to you that ye may recover your first and Primitive State. And therefore it appertains Principally to him who has taken the Chair of Ruling Power over this Church, as the Representative Head, to examine and prove whether he has the true Mission: which only can be known by the Power and Spirit of Jesus in Him. In whose Hand is the Golden Key to open the Kingdom of Love, Unity, and Peace: For the Gathering in of the Philadelphian Flock" (Lead). A Golden Key for a Golden Door, as prophesied, is in the hands of the current pope: "the Chair of Ruling Power over this Church, as the Representative Head . . . In whose Hand is the Golden Key to open the Kingdom of Love, Unity, and Peace: For the Gathering in of the Philadelphian Flock." As stated in my critique on Lead's third message, the "Philadelphian Flock" is a term she used to describe those who will have come out of the denominational churches into the spiritual body that "God" would bring about, the one flock acceptable to him. The pope, as Christ's representative on earth, would then be the head of this flock: "Thus he may become a true Shepherd and Overseer of such as may make up the VirginChurch. Let it be known to you from the Alpha and Omega, that Titles, and Words, and Forms, will not pass through the Fiery Judgment: therefore Return, Return; and strengthen that which is ready to dye; of the more inward and Spiritual Life among you; and Recover your first Love, that you may bear the Right Mark and Character of the Philadelphian Bride. This receive as a true Message and Call from Him that is All in All" (Lead). The key in the 14th century vision to Pope Clement's visitors would "send forth a fire by which the whole world may be warmed and enlightened," and Lead's prophecy promises a "New Creation World": "All this is to be the forerunner to make way for that New Creation World prophesied of [the Year 2000 hope of the pope-Ed], which is to be expected and hoped for. Some Footsteps whereof are already taken, in order to its Entrance: for the Spirit of Prophecy has in some declared that from the Year 1697 to 1700, a good Progress will be made; and from thence it will proceed and increase till it comes to the Seventh Thousand Years Sabbath, answering to the Seventh Day of Rest from the Creation [the Year 2000-Ed]. In the compass of this time, great and wonderful Revolutions will be; and are already begun by the Spirits breaking forth [from 1600 to 2000, the increase of 'the Spirit' until it brings about drastic changes-Ed]. Which as yet is but the Light of one Day; but this one shall multiply, till it come to be as a Light of Seven Days: and then our Sun of Glory shall no more set, nor the Spirit withdraw its self, as it has done since the Apostles Days; for in that Age it was only as a sudden Shower, in comparison of the Remainders that are to be poured forth in the latter Age" (Lead). Here we have a description of the current apostate Revival. The "sudden Shower" and that which is to be "poured forth in the latter age" is an obvious description of the Latter Rain doctrine, coming to some kind of fruition in the year 2000. "Wherein the New Modelled World, over which Christ shall Reign as a mighty Monarch, shall be made manifest. But it may be queried, what method or way shall be taken for the bringing these Prophecies to pass, there being so little yet appearing in Order hereunto, the Babylonish Confusion still Reigning, and such Divisions among the nominated Churches by their taking up the Spiritual Weapons of War, and piercing and wounding each other? The which Grievances have been spread, and lamented by such as are quickened into the Birth of Love" (Lead). The conditions Lead described here are those before the walls came down in the present time through the work of the Pope and the Revival. The purpose of knocking down the walls is to bring in the kingdom and establish it in the earth so "Christ" can come and rule and reign. The empowerment to accomplish this resides in the false doctrine of just loving one another at the expense of truth through intimacy with Jesus. "Upon which Answer was given from the ThroneSeat of Love, that these rendings and dividings were taken such knowledge of, and had so pierced the heart of him who is to be Heir and Restorer of all Nations, that he would now raise up Messengers and Pastors [the restoring of apostles and prophets in compatibility with Rome-Ed], whom he would make as Vials to pour in his allSaving and Healing Name [the "anointed"-Ed]: And as the former Ministration went forth in the Washing of Regeneration, by John the Baptist, who was a Type in his Day; So now again the Spirit of John the Evangelist is to rise and be the Forerunner of the Ministration of the Love, and to make ready the Philadelphia Bride, whose adorning and covering will be by the Flaming Sun of Love; by waiting in the Kingdom of Love for her Bridegroom in his Glorified Person to her to appear. Now then give ear and hearken to the Spirit s Voice, from the Mighty King and Shepherd that stands charged with all the Flocks that are to make the VirginBody: to you this Message is sent, who Pastors are of the Churches of this Nation, what Nomination or Title soever ye bear, be it known to you, that your Commission is to go forth first to Baptize with the Water of Life, not according to the deadness of the Letter, but by the Internal conveyance of the Lifequickening Power, that may give Sin its deaths wound; and this in Order to a higher degree of Baptism, which is from the Glassy Sea (wherein is the Holy Fire mingled, and cooperating with the Water) which is the Ministry of the Holy Ghost, which requires a true Examination of those that are called hereunto, whereby it may be known that they have the Right Mission" (Lead). Notice this: "All this is to be the forerunner" to that which will ultimately be accomplished. It was prophesied by the "Holy Spirit" that what was happening then, between 1697 and 1700, was "to make way for that New Creation World." From this time on, this "Second Pentecost" would "increase till it comes to the Seventh Thousand Years Sabbath, answering to the Seventh Day of Rest from the Creation." This brings the progression or evolution of the "Spirit's" plan to the year 2000, here described in the terminology of Lead's day. What Lead saw as the "breaking forth" of the "Spirit" was not like what she called the "shower" of the first Pentecost. She predicted a continual raining of the "Spirit," which would manifest at some time in the future as a heavier shower, or Latter Rain. This outpouring would bring in the reign of "Christ" as a "mighty Monarch" in the "New Modelled World" (modeled after the heavenly Pattern she saw). But Lead only saw divided churches in her time. How could this New World come about? It was then revealed to her that the "Heir and Restorer of all Nations . . . would now raise up Messengers and Pastors, whom he would make as Vials to pour in his allSaving and Healing Name." Do we not have this exact situation today, having evolved through the Revivals of the past two centuries? Yes, we do. "Apostles" and "Prophets" are now covering the earth, and a new hierarchy compatible with Catholicism is rising over the apostasy. These ministers in the Revival are proclaiming the need to love one another [though discarding truth]. They're preparing the Bride and bringing the fiery Anointing to all who will come. Are those ministering in the Revival not doing just as Lead prophesied, baptizing with the Water of Life [bubble, bubble] in the power of the "Spirit"? And mixed with this "Water," are they not also ministering the Baptism of "Fire" to those coming out of the churches ("wherein is the Holy Fire mingled, and cooperating with the Water")? Yes, they are. Can Opening A Physical Door In Rome Cause Major Spiritual Damage? In itself, no. But we must take three factors into consideration: 1. These things were prophesied through two visions during and at the emergence from the dark ages, by spirits not of God. This places their origin in the spiritual realm. Furthermore, these spiritual "realities" were presented through the use of symbols without concern for the word of God. That the Church has even arrived at this place in fulfillment of those visions shows the workings of these spirits, because the visions and the mystical and "new" revelations that came forth from them are unscriptural. The spirits have no intention of stopping their work now, but to escalate that work through these "promises" and prophecies and symbols and analogies to their complete fulfillment. How will it be done? As Blavatsky said, "Sprung from it in their origins, the various religious schemes are now made to merge back into their original element, out of which every mystery and dogma has grown, developed, and become materialised." 2. The emotions of people across the globe will also escalate as the message of peace and tolerance streaks around the world at the dawning of the new millennium. Emotional people in emotional situations are easily controlled and lead and subject to the ideas, thoughts and solutions of others. 3. When Pope John Paul II opens the Holy Door, the spiritual realm worldwide will be affected, because this action is A SYMBOL of spiritual realities. It is the spirits behind the symbol or symbolic action that matter, and they are then freed to act according to the action that has been performed. Not only is the Pope's action a symbol of opening the way to global reconciliation, THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE GATHERED WITH HIM ARE SYMBOLIC as well, for they "REPRESENT ALL the faithful": "The Christmas Eve opening of the Holy Door in St Peter's Basilica is the ceremony that marks the beginning of the Holy Year. It is RICH IN SYMBOLISM and one of the MOST SIGNIFICANT Jubilee ceremonies. The Holy Door, also known as the "Door of Great Pardon" is sealed from the inside with bricks, and on the occasion of the Great Jubilee is opened by the Holy Father for the faithful to enter. "At this event the Pope strikes the brick wall with a hammer and makes the solemn acclamation, 'This is the gate of the Lord' (Psalm 118:20). The PEOPLE GATHERED BEHIND HIM in the atrium, who REPRESENT ALL the faithful, answer with a shout of joy, 'Through it shall enter the just'. The Holy Door represents Jesus, the Good Shepherd and the door of the sheep pen: 'I am the gate. Whoever enters through me, will be safe. He will go in and out, and find pasture' (John 10:9)" (http://www.pilgrimage.net.au/Jubilee/great-jubilee.htm; caps mine). This action will have an effect in the spiritual realm even upon those not in attendance: "As the door swings open it sends out a symbolic message that the doors of divine justice and mercy are open for the world." This makes for a major success for the "new world coming." By the opening of this symbolic door, the Pope will create a climate where those in Catholicism and those in the Revival and those who are in it for what they can get out of it will be "gathered" together in thought and spirit. There will then be enough people for one in their midst to open the "Golden Door" of Global Reconciliation and Unity. I am speaking here not of the pursuing of it anymore, but of the implementation, as the spirits of this age further their ongoing work. The use of John 10:9 in the above quote also carries with it some heavy implications because of our knowledge of the Manifest Sons agenda. The true Jesus Christ has been replaced by a symbolic door where THE JUST ENTER IN and will be safe. The strong implication here is one of protection if one enters these "doors of divine justice." But justice has two sides to it; one is protection, but protection from what? Judgment. Considering the direction of the Revival and the Roman Church, and the hopes that lie in back of the use of these symbols, the probability is great that tremendous spiritual forces and powers will be unleashed by the spirits in back of the symbols. If they are, it seems that the great harvesting of mankind will follow, and then comes the judgment. The Advance Guard Alice Bailey wrote, "The Son of God is on His way and He cometh not alone. His advance guard is already here and the Plan which they must follow is already made and clear. Let recognition be the aim" (Reappearance). In Part 4, I want to take a look at what I believe to be the "advance guard" that is working in this world to bring in the reign of the New Age Christ. Continued in Part 4.
