Don't worry, when the Son of Man comes, everyone will know all at once. And when "the Christ" comes within YOU it is SUDDENLY.
"Then if any man shall say unto you, "Lo, here is Christ", or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, "Behold, he is in the desert"; go not forth: "behold, he is in the secret chambers"; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Jesus the Christ, Matthew 24:23-27 (KJV)
It IS an INSTANTANEOUS event!
...
Edgar Cayce on the "Second Coming"
12. (Q) Is Jesus the Christ on any particular sphere or is He manifesting on
the earth plane in another body?
(A) As just given, all power in heaven, in earth, is given to Him who overcame.
Hence He is of Himself in space, in the force that impels through faith,
through belief, in the individual entity. As a Spirit Entity. Hence not in a
body in the earth, but may come at will to him who WILLS to be one with, and
acts in love to make same possible.
For, He shall come as ye have seen Him go, in
the BODY He occupied in
13. (Q) Wherever He is, how may I contact Him so that I may see Him and hear
Him speak?
(A) The making of the will of self one with His will makes a whole attunement
with Him. He WILL, with the making of self in accord and desiring same, speak
with thee. "Be not afraid, it is I."
5749-4 August 6, 1933
...
6. For as ye have caught a glimpse of here as an individual: the manner in
which an individual, a community, a state or nation treats those less
fortunate, those ill, those aged and infirm, those mentally possessed, is the
manner in which such an individual, community, state or nation serves its
Maker. For God so loved the world that He gave His Son. That is a pattern which
each individual should emulate, he should so love his fellow man.
7. The individual has used opportunities for self, of others; but leave not out
of thy faith nor thy hope those purposes that should be the promptings of this
individual entity. For when ye walk with Him, in purpose and in ideal, ye will
find that ye are never alone. Think not that ye or any other individual may be
the only one serving a living God. For since His entry into the world, and His
making it possible for man to find his way back to God, there has been and will
continue to be an increase. For God has not willed that any soul should perish.
Though the lights of hope may oft grow dim, in the violence that is created by
those who become self-conscious of ability and who use self and others for
gratifying of selfish desires, let it ever be said of thee that ye will make,
ye will cause the welkin to ring for the glory of the coming of the Lord. For
He will one day come again, and thou shalt see Him as He is, even as thou hast
seen in thy early sojourns the glory of the day of the triumphal entry and the
day of the Crucifixion, and as ye also heard the angels proclaim "As ye have seen Him go, so will ye see Him come
again." Thou wilt be among those in the earth when He comes again.
Glory in that, but let it be rather the one reason why ye keep the faith, the
faith in the coming of the Lord, to call those who have been faithful; that
they, as He prayed, "may be where I am, and may behold the glory which I
had with thee before the worlds were."
8. That is something to look forward to!
3615-1 January 2, 1944
...
40. (Q) Should I hope and seek for personal experiences or contacts with
Jesus as a personality now?
(A) As has been indicated, this may be - but this ye live. Not as a desire for
self-exaltation; that is, self-proof, self-evidence; but it is evidenced IN
thee when ye ARE (in thy living, in thy thinking, in thy acting) One with Him.
Then, and thus - how hath the angel given? "As ye
have seen Him go, so will ye see Him come." Were those just as
words?
No.
Thou hast seen Him oft in the acts of others and the personality ye called by
another name, yet ye may see Him. And when He speaks, "Be not afraid, it
is I." Know He is near. And in the breaking of bread ye may know Him!
1158-9 March 28, 1937
...
3. As to occult or psychic science, as called, then - it is, as we have
found through some manifestations, that these forces are first recognized in or
by the individual. Hence, as has been seen, in the beginning these were the
natural expressions of an entity. As there developed more of the individual
association with material conditions, and they partook of same in such a manner
as to become wholly or in part a portion OF same, farther - or more hidden,
more unseen - has become occult or psychic manifestations. First there were the
occasional harking back. Later by dream. Again we find individuals raised in
certain sections for specific purposes. As the cycle has gone about, time and
again has there arisen in the earth those that MANIFESTED these forces in a
more magnificent, more beneficent, way and manner. And, as has been given,
again the time draws near when there shall be seen and known among men, in many
places, the manifestations of such forces in the material world; for "As ye have seen Him go, so will He return again."
Be thou faithful unto those words He has given while yet with you. Hence it
behooves every individual to take cognizance of that force that may manifest in
their material lives, even in this material age; for those that become ashamed
for His sake - for THAT sake - of that that may manifest (which is as the
Spirit's manner of activity) through those many channels that are open to those
who will look up, lift up - and these, we find, are often in the lowliest of
places and circumstances. Why? Since these are forces of the Most High, since
these supplied - as of old - those secular things in abundance, and were
supplied the needs not only of the physical being but of the mental and
spiritual also, contributing to those forces as made for the gratification also
of that builded in a material world, does it become any wonder that he that
shall be abased and remains true shall wear the Crown of Life?
364-11 April 29, 1932
...
6. (Q) What is meant by "the day of the Lord is near at hand"?
(A) That as has been promised through the prophets and the sages of old, the
time - and half time - has been and is being fulfilled in this day and
generation, and that soon there will again appear in the earth that one through
whom many will be called to meet those that are preparing the way for His day
in the earth. The Lord, then, will come, "even as
ye have seen Him go".
7. (Q) How soon?
(A) When those that are His have made the way clear, PASSABLE, for Him to come.
262-49 July 9, 1933
...
19. (Q) Please explain the words of the Master as recorded in the 21st
chapter of Luke, "Many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ."
(A) As has been given, many have arisen; for as He gave in the same connection,
there were many false prophets, even those that would lead the very elect away.
There be those who, finding something of the power that is in the material
activities of those that would walk in the light, turn same into their own
selfish purposes; hence become false prophets, false Christs, and lead many
astray. Let's remember, there has been given the manner, the way to determine
as to whether such a prophet is of the Spirit of God or not. They that deny the
call of the prophets of old, or the burdens of the world upon the Son or His
death, His resurrection, are not of the spirit; for "As
ye have SEEN Him go, so SHALL He come." As He overcame the world
through the birth as one born in due season, through those varied periods when
necessity and the DEMAND of the Sons of God brought forth those leaders in
their proper places, so He is that one that is given power over death, hell and
the grave, and in Him is the power made manifest in the consciousness of Him
and His power in the earth; hence we may see how the consciousness of His
presence may be misconstrued, when turned to selfish motives. Know that even as
the powers of evil are loosed for the correcting of many, so are the glories of
Him made manifest in the hearts and lives of many.
262-30 October 16, 1932
...
9. (Q) Please explain clearly the difference between the Christ
Consciousness, the Christ Spirit.
(A) As the difference might be given in that which makes for the birth in the
flower, and the flower. The consciousness of the Spirit and the abilities to
apply same are the differences in the Christ Consciousness, the Christ Spirit.
As has been given, the devils believe, the devils know, individuals that may be
conscious of an activity. Those with the abilities to call upon, to be so
unselfish as to allow the Spirit to operate in self's stead, are aware of the
Spirit's activity, while those that may be conscious or aware of a truth may
not wholly make it their own without that which has been given, "He that
would have life must give life;" for HE thought it not robbery to be equal
with the Father, yet of Himself did nothing, "but the Father that worketh
in me, through me."
Do thou likewise, that thou may know the consciousness of the Christ Spirit,
and experience the operation of that witness, that "My Spirit beareth
witness with thy spirit, that the Father may be glorified in you, even as I am
glorified in the Father through you. If ye love me keep my commandments, and I
will abide with you. I will NOT leave thee comfortless; I will make thee aware
of that glory I possessed with the Father before the world was."
In such a manner may individuals become aware of the Christ Consciousness and
become one with the operative forces of the Christ Spirit abroad in the earth; for He shall come again, even as ye have seen Him go.
THEN shall the Christ Spirit be manifest in the world, even as the Christ
Consciousness may make thee aware of that promised as the Comforter in this
material world.
Then, the Christ Consciousness is the Holy Spirit, or that as the promise of
His presence made aware of His activity in the earth. The Spirit is as the
Christ in action with the Spirit of the Father.
10. (Q) Explain and expand fully the thought that the Christ Spirit, not the
man, should be the door, the truth, the way.
(A) That which has been given may be used to illustrate the difference that may
be felt by a soul that has become aware of itself, as the Christ, or as Jesus
the man became aware of the Spirit of the Father through those experiences of
the man as he "went about doing good," and at those periods when
there was received those acknowledgements of the Father that he WAS the one who
could, WOULD, through those activities, become the Savior of man. First, as
"in whom I am well pleased;" then as "This is my son; hear ye
Him!"
In the overcoming, then, He IS the way, the manner in which individuals may
become aware of their souls that are in accord with that as may be one with the
spirit of truth; for corruption inherits not eternal life. The Spirit is the
true life. Then, as individuals become aware of that ability IN HIM to be the
way, so they become the door, as representatives, as agents, as those that present
the way; and the door is thus opened; and not to the man but the spirit of self
that bears witness with the spirit of truth through Him that overcame the
world, thus putting the world under His feet.
So we, as heirs of the kingdom, as brothers one with Him, may enjoy that
privilege as He has given to those that hear His voice and put on the whole
armor; that we may run the race that is set before us, looking to Him, the
author, the giver of light; for in Him ye live and move and HAVE their being. Do
ye become rebels? Do ye find fault one with another, that are as self heirs to
that kingdom? Rather be in that humbleness of spirit, that His will "be
done in earth as it is in heaven." Thus do we become the children of the
Father, the door to the way, and joint heirs with Him in glory.
Let thy yeas be yea, thy nays be nay. "Let others do as they may, but for
me I will serve a LIVING God," who has shown in man - ALL men, everywhere
- that image of the Creator, in that the soul may grow in grace, in knowledge,
in peace, in harmony, in understanding.
Be ye doers of the word; not hearers only. Thus ye become the door that the
WAY, the Christ, the Savior, may enter in; for HE IS the way, the truth, and
the light.

1. GC: You will have before you Edgar Cayce, present in this room, and his
enquiring mind in relation to the talk which he expects to give next Monday
evening on the "Second Coming."You will give what he should present
at this open meeting on this subject.
2. EC: That which crowds in at the present may be well for those present, but
would it be well for those in open meeting? From this experience, though, there
may be gathered that which has been given and that which may be helpful to many
in the comprehension of that which is the experience of those that seek through
such channels to have for themselves the experience that may be had by those
here in this room in the present.
3. Be mindful then, each of you, of that ye may inwardly experience in that
which may be given you.
4. For, those experiences that have been told you of the vision [See EC's dream
of a.m.] of the gathering of those that were known to many in this present land
and in the lands abroad were in reference to just those things that may be said
respecting the Coming.
5. Many of these have ministered, have preached concerning this Second Coming.
Not a one but what has at some time left the record of his contemplations and
experiences in those environs, whether made in the heart and mind of his
hearers or in the written word; yet here today, in what ye call time, ye find
them gathering in a body to LISTEN to that as may be given them by [Edgar
Cayce?] (NO! John) one who is to be a forerunner of that influence in the earth
known as the Christ Consciousness, the coming of that force or power into the
earth that has been spoken of through the ages.
6. Listen, while he speaks! [Edgar Cayce?] (NO! John)
7. Ye, my brethren, in your ignorance and in your zeal have often spoken of
that influence in the earth known among men as the record made by those that
would influence the activities in the religious or spiritual life of
individuals through the ages, as a record of the Son of man as He walked in the
earth. Rather would ye listen and harken to those things as He spoke when He
made those inferences and illustrations as to how those had closed and did
close their ears to what was actually going on about them; yet they knew Him
not! He, our Lord and our Master, was the first among those that put on
immortality that there might be the opportunity for those forces that had erred
in spiritual things; and only through experiencing in a manner whereunto all
might be visioned from their greater abilities of manifesting in the various
phases, forms and manners as they developed through that ye know as matter,
could they come to know how or why or when there was made manifest in any realm
spirit that was good and spirit that was in error. For, He gave thee, had ye
not KNOWN the Son ye would NOT be condemned in thine own self. For, condemnation
was not in Him, but "ye are condemned already." And in the coming
into the influence of those that would open themselves for an understanding
might there be the approach to Him. He has come in all ages through those that
were the spokesmen to a people in this age, that age, called unto a purpose for
the manifestation of that first idea.
8. Readst thou how the sons of God came together, and Satan came also?
"Hast thou considered my servant? Hast thou seen his ways?" And the
answer, even from the evil force, "Put forth thine hand - touch Him in
those things that pertain to the satisfying of desire that is flesh, and he
will curse thee to thy face." Then, "He is in thine hand, but touch
not his soul - touch not his soul!"
9. So we see how that the coming into the earth has been and is for the
evolution or the evolving of the soul unto its awareness of the effect of all
influences in its experience in the varied spheres of activity; and that only
in Him who was the creator, the maker, the experiencer of mortality and spirit
and soul COULD this be overcome.
10. Then, the necessity. For, has it not been said, has it not been shown in
the experience of the earth, the world, from any angle it may be considered,
that He has not willed that any should be lost - but has prepared the way of
escape in Him, the Maker?
11. But who is the worthy servant? He that has endured unto the end!
12. Then, He has come in all ages when it has been necessary for the
understanding to be centered in a NEW application of the same thought,
"God IS Spirit and seeks such to worship Him in spirit and in truth!"
13. Then, as there is prepared the way by those that have made and do make the
channels for the entering in, there may come into the earth those influences
that will save, regenerate, resuscitate, HOLD - if you please - the earth in
its continued activity toward the proper understanding and proper relationships
to that which is the making for the closer relationships to that which is in
Him ALONE. Ye have seen it in Adam; ye have heard it in Enoch, ye have had it
made known in Melchizedek; Joshua, Joseph, David, and those that made the
preparation then for Him called Jesus. [GD's note: Essenes, School of Prophets
started by Elijah. See Malachi 3 and 4] Ye have seen His Spirit in the leaders
in all realms of activity, whether in the isles of the sea, the wilderness, the
mountain, or in the various activities of every race, every color, every
activity of that which has produced and does produce contention in the minds
and hearts of those that dwell in the flesh.
14. For, what must be obliterated? Hate, prejudice, selfishness, backbiting,
unkindness, anger, passion, and those things of the mire that are created in
the activities of the sons of men.
15. Then again He may come in body to claim His own. Is He abroad today in the
earth? Yea, in those that cry unto Him from every corner; for He, the Father,
hath not suffered His soul to see corruption; neither hath it taken hold on
those things that make the soul afraid. For, He IS the Son of Light, of God,
and is holy before Him. And He comes again in the hearts and souls and minds of
those that seek to know His ways.
16. These be hard to be understood by those in the flesh, where prejudice,
avarice, vice of all natures holds sway in the flesh; yet those that call on
Him will not go empty handed - even as thou, in thine ignorance, in thine
zealousness that has at times eaten thee up. Yet HERE ye may hear the golden
sceptre ring - ring - in the hearts of those that seek His face. Ye, too, may
minister in those days when He will come in the flesh, in the earth, to call
His own by name.
17. We are through.
5749-5 May 1, 1934
...
Q: Can there be given, in a way we may understand, an explanation of the
meaning of the Second Coming of Christ?
A: For the particular questioning entity, it may best be understood in this
manner: In this day, in this period of time, in this preparation of the new
sub-race, there has come a time when that force that occupied the body of the
one called Jesus, He who became the Christ, is able and available to occupy
bodies on this plane at this time. It is the purpose of this race to be raised
to that level, to be used in such a manner that the indwelling of that Christ
Consciousness, which was the life force of this Entity, is available in this
day and in this time.
There is oft the question as to whether Jesus, who was the Christ, will return
as Jesus, as a man on this plane, or in this a consciousness that will occupy
all those entities that have acquired a level that makes the body or the soul
available for indwelling of this Christ Consciousness.
We would find that both are true. He who was the Christ will return, will rule,
and will teach on this plane. There are reasons, there are purposes for this
which may easily be understood, that the greatest of the initiates will come in
this day to complete the evolvement of those initiates who might be available
for the occupying of this consciousness. There are others who will, at the same
time of this reappearance, this Second Coming, be raised to this level so that
in effect they will become the Christ in their own consciousness, in their own
development. these in this sense will become one together and they all will
become Christ in the Christ Consciousness. They will become one with God. This
is what we seek. This is what we build toward.

...
I went just a while ago (before the reading) and
looked at the newspapers to see what the picture was on tonight, and it was
something about a train east or some such thing as that, (Sleepers East), but
when I had this experience it all happened on a train. I do not know whether
this made it - does this make it? Of course, it wasn't anything, I am sure,
like the picture must be because on this train was Mr. Moody and Sam Jones and
George Stuart, (all deceased evangelists) and all those people going to a
meeting where somebody was going to teach and it was someone we had seen
before, for it appeared to me to be that it was John who was going to teach,
John the Disciple.
I was on the train there with them and they were discussing as to what they had
preached when they were here and what their experiences were since they had
been on the other side. (Someone asked EC what they said.) Well, some of them
said that they didn't think any of it was so, that they thought was so when
they were here. Another said "Yes, it is exactly what you preached".
Another one said, "Well, that wasn't just my experience."
Then I asked Mr. Moody if he remembered me. [EC had some experiences with Mr.
Moody on earth]. He said, "Oh, yes, but you are not just like we are. You
are not in the same place with us. You are on this same train with us right
now, but don't forget you have to go back and don't you get too far away."
Mr. Moody seemed to be sort of a listener, yet when he spoke everybody kept
silent, and as usual Sam Jones was one who would speak quite often, and he was
still having some joke on somebody there and he was still chewing tobacco -
that I don't understand. He did spit just like this [EC demonstrated].
Sam Jones said, "Well, things are quite a bit different from what I
preached or imagined they were;" then he turned to George Stuart and said,
"George, don't you find it that way?" I heard Sam Jones say that
Excel was going to lead the singing when they go over to this meeting. George
said they were quite a bit different. "We are going to meetings and still
going to meetings; the only difference is that we are being preached to instead
of preaching, for we have found that we didn't know it all." Some of them
turned to Mr. Moody and I think Sam Jones said, "D. L., how do you find
it?"
He said, "Well, it isn't so different. You know what we called human
nature is still human nature - it isn't so different." They seemed to be
having just as good a time as they ever did.
Mr. Moody said to me, "Oh, yes, I remember you and I remember the tale I
told you about the little girl."
[Ques. asked EC: "Did they speak of any others and call them by
name?"] They had to stop and let Smith on the train.
[On being asked further questions:] I simply found myself on this train. It was
all white and gold inside and the chairs were like club seats, nice, big downy
cushions. Someone said, "Sam, aren't you afraid you will get that tobacco
juice on the cushions?" I rather liked it because I might get a chance to
smoke.
What did they say about the meeting? They said they were going to a big
meeting, when I asked Sam Jones where they all were going. They stopped at this
place when Mr. Smith got on.
Sam Jones asked a riddle: "Do you know why they have twin beds?" Some
other man said, "No why?" He said, "On account of onions."
Everybody laughed.
[This brought quite a bit of discussion by those present. EC said everything had
to have a source in the spiritual before it could manifest in the earth.
Everything in the earth is a pattern of that in the spiritual.]
They said, "You must get off before it goes too far."
[Ques.: "Did you have any desire to go on?"] I wanted to go ahead and
I knew that if they went through the next tunnel I wouldn't get off.
There was another man on there that I knew and he was the one that was
insisting that Mr. Smith was going to get on the train. There was another funny
thing about it - all of them were dressed in white. I didn't notice what I had
on.
The lights were on the side of the wall and on the ceiling. It certainly was a
very nice experience - I could hear that train, the noise of the wheels and the
whistle.
That makes two or three times that I have heard that John was going to talk in
a dream, but I never heard him talk. I would like to have gone on to the
meeting.

8. (Q) Please give the important re-incarnations of Adam in the world's
history.
(A) In the beginning as Amilius, as Adam, as Melchizedek, as Zend [?], as
364-7 April 5, 1932
...
3. (Q) Please explain what is meant by "He will walk and talk with men
of every clime". Does this mean he will appear to many at once or appear
to various peoples during a long period?
(A) As given, for a thousand years He will walk and talk with men of every
clime. Then in groups, in masses, and then they shall reign of the first
resurrection for a thousand years; for this will be when the changes materially
come.
In the manner as He sat at the peace conference in Geneva, in the heart and
soul of a man not reckoned by many as an even unusually Godly man; yet raised
for a purpose, and he chose rather to be a channel of His thought for the
world. So, as there has been, so will it be until the time as set. As was given
of Him, not given to man to know the time or the period of the end, nor to man
- save by their constituting themselves a channel through which He may speak.
To be sure, man and woman alike; for, as given from the beginning, they are
one. Not as man counts oneness from the material viewpoint. Rather from that as
He gave, "Where are those thy persecutors?" "No man, Lord."
"Neither do I condemn thee. Sin no more." In the searching out of
those who, where and when He speaks, or has spoken among or with, or through men,
"By their fruits ye shall know them." They that bring more
righteousness are the children of faith, hope, charity. These three; and they
do so in MATERIAL world, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Be thou, then, a
channel that may oft walk with Him that gave not of else than, "Let not
your hearts be troubled; neither let it be afraid. Let not thine right hand
know what thy left hand doeth." Rather giving self to seeking, day by day,
to KNOW the will of the Father as was manifest in Him, and may be manifest in
Thee, for He will not leave thee desolate, but will come to thee - but not
unless invited; for, as in the periods, as we find, when He walked with men as
the Master among men, or when as Joseph in the kingdoms that were raised as the
saving of his peoples that SOLD Him into bondage, or as the priest of Salem in
the days when the call came that a peculiar peoples would proclaim his name, He
has walked and talked with men. Or, as in those days as Asapha [?] [Sons of
Asaph? See Ps. 81:5 indicating that Joseph and Asaph were one and the same?],
or Affa [?] in those periods when those of that same Egyptian land were giving
those counsels to the many nations, when there would be those saving of the
physical from that of their own making in the physical; or in the garden when
those temptations came, or as the first begotten of the Father that came as
Amilius in the Atlantean land and allowed Himself to be led in ways of
selfishness. Hence, as we see, all the various stages of developments that have
come to man through the ages have been those periods when He walked and talked
with man.
In this, then, when - as we find - that those periods began in a like period
from that of Joseph to Joseph, or Jesus, then again we see the cycle when
perfected in body, overcoming the world in the body of man, will He appear in
those VARIED experiences; for He tarries not, and the time draws near.

4. (A)That which will bring the most benefits that may be derived from the spiritual
angle is that at the Peace Conference. For, there - as we have indicated from
here - the Prince of Peace sat - in that conference; and the world, and

8. (Q) What can I do further to become more serviceable to the Brotherhood
and my fellow men?
(A) Purifying, dedicating, consecrating self and purpose in the Master - the
one Master - Him.
9. (Q) We have been told that the Second Coming of the Master in the flesh
would not take place until 1985. Is this approximately correct? Can't we expect
to see Him sooner?
(A) How doth He interpret, as to the day or the hour? No man knoweth save the
Father.
Live ye then, each soul, as though ye expected Him today.Then ye shall see Him
as He is, when ye live such a life.
3011-3 September 29, 1943
...
37. (Q) In view of the inconsistency of opinion held by various groups of
earnest students of the Holy Mysteries regarding the Second Coming of Master,
what should be our attitude?
(A) As has been indicated, be prepared each day to meet thy God. He will bless
those, as is the promise, who love His coming. Then, whether it be in this
experience or when ye have returned, let thy prayer ever be, "Lord, use me
in Thy way. Thy will be done, not mine."
5277-1 July 1, 1944
...
17. (Q) He said He would come again. What about His second coming?
(A) The time no one knows. Even as He gave, not even the Son Himself. ONLY the
Father. Not until His enemies - and the earth - are wholly in subjection to His
will, His powers.
18. (Q) Are we entering the period of preparation for His coming?
(A) Entering the test period, rather.

Someone came to me and said, "Do you want to
go to a meeting?" I said, "I don't know, I don't go out very
much."
The person said to me, "This is a very unusual meeting, I think you will
enjoy it." I asked, "Who is going to be there?" He said,
"The Master is going to speak."
We went to the meeting, and it was in the most beautiful place I have ever seen
in my life. We entered a dark hallway, but not a long hall. The light in it was
very dark blue, opalescent, and made our flesh look purple. As I looked at the
people, I realized that all of them had passed on, - no one was there in the
flesh except myself. I didn't know the person who had asked me to come.
With me and around me were mostly preachers, - Mr. Moody, Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones,
and many of those who had been ministers in the earth, and ones I had known.
I couldn't see the light, but realized that it came from a Voice that spoke. No
one was sitting. There were no benches or chairs. Everyone was standing. All
were dressed in robes. It was the Lord speaking, - but He could not be seen. He
said, "Who will go to bring peace again on earth?"
Then Jesus stepped forward, and said: "I will go. It is time for me to go
again into the earth to strengthen my brethren; not
to be born in the earth, though there will come
forth from our friend here (referring to me {Edgar Cayce]) a messenger that
will proclaim my day."
Then I woke up.
Dream of January 13, 1940
...
I was sitting alone in the front room playing
solitaire when there was a knock at the front door. It was dark outside but
rather early in the evening. When I went to the door a gentleman whom I did not
recognize asked, 'Cayce, I want you to go with me to a meeting this evening.'
At first I said 'But I seldom go out of evening and my wife is here and it
would leave her alone.' But he insisted I should go with him and I did. As I
went out I realized that another person was waiting for us in the street. We
walked toward the ocean, but when we came to the ocean we walked on as if into
the air, up and up, until we came to where there seemed to be a large circus
tent. He said 'We will go in here.' We approached the flap of the tent and as
he pulled the flap back, I for the first time, realized that the two men with
whom I had been walking were the evangelists Dwight L. Moody and Sam Jones. We
entered a large, circular tent; a very unusual kind of light pervaded the
place, something like an opalescent light. Many figures were there. All seemed
to be shrouded, all dressed alike. Very few I remembered ever having seen
before. Then to one side of the place - as more and more figures appeared,
until it was full - it seemed that there was a large screen on that side, and
as if there was lightening in the distance. With the lightning there was a
noise, not of thunder but of wind, yet nothing seemed to stir; and there was no
form with the brilliant flashes but as if a cloud, very beautiful. When I asked
one of my companions what it was, I was told 'The Lord our God will speak to
us.'
"Then a voice clear and strong came as from out of the cloud and the
lightning, saying, 'WHO WILL WARN MY CHILDREN?' Then from out of the throng
before the throne came the MASTER, but as if in the same garb of those about
Him. He spoke saying, 'I will warn My brethren.' The answer came back, 'No, the time is not yet fulfilled for you to return, but who shall warn My children?' Then Mr. Moody spoke and
said, 'Why not send Cayce, he is there now'
Then the Master said, 'Father, Cayce will warn My brethren.'
'And we will all help,' came as a grand chorus.
Dream of December 13, 1942
...
Let's pray that the Son of Man will come any day now.
"The body is the temple of the living God.
There He has promised to meet thee."
Expect to meet Him every day!
And one day, He WILL come in The Flesh.
