The Destiny of Miriam

CHAPTER 53

Yeshua reveals to Miriam the fullness of her destiny and the powers that she must wield in order to fulfill all that will be asked of her. He teaches her secret knowledge of the Elohim that no one else knows or will ever know. She is then imbued with the power of the Elohim as three blinding bolts of lightning shoot out of the sky and land upon her and Yeshua as they stand upon a mountaintop.

 1 And it came to pass that early on the following day, Yeshua departed with Miriam and his other Apostles. And Salome and three wives of the Apostles came with them.

 2 Rather than follow the roads into the towns of Galilee, the group immediately struck out toward the high mountains northwest of Capernaum and by early afternoon, they had reached a broad meadow below a prominent peak, and at this place, Yeshua asked his Apostles to remain along with their wives and Salome, while he and Miriam climbed up to the peak.

 3 Cephas questioned him, asking, “Why must we remain behind? Surely, we are as interested in the goings on upon the mountaintop as Miriam.”

 4 Yeshua consoled him, saying, “We shall be gone until the evening, Cephas, and where we go, we must go alone. Please do not take offense that it is only Miriam that must come with me this day upon the mountain.

 5 As I go alone with her today that she might see the fullness of her destiny, so too will I go with each of you at some point in our travels to reveal to you the greatness that you are.

 6 We are living a great drama written by Elohim before the world was, and each of you has a part to play that can be accomplished by no other, and this I shall reveal to you in your time.

 7 Today is the day for Miriam to discover her destiny, and it is she who must be first, not because she is above you, but because of the nature of her calling by Elohim and the time she will need to nurture the full potential of her power.

 8 You have heard me say that I will not be long among you, but do not fear that I will leave you alone to the wolves; Miriam who was with me before the world was, who has walked with me every day of the fulfillment of my destiny upon this land, and who knows me as no other can shall remain with you for a time.

 9 The power of Elohim shall be upon her. She shall be a tower of refuge for the Children of Light, with walls of protection that cannot be breached by all the armies of the world.

 10 But she must still become more than she is, even as each of you must for the destiny that calls to you. Like the young bird that needs to grow stronger and learn to fly, she must more fully learn who she is and of what she is capable and then gain faith and confidence in her ability to fulfill her destiny.

 11 The steps she begins to climb today, each of you will also begin to ascend on the day that I call to you, but not to the place that she goes, but to a mountain that bears your name alone the stairway of your destiny will lead.”

 12 Cephas nodded his head in understanding as did all of the other Apostles. So it was that Yeshua and Miriam departed from among them and went up onto the mountain.

 13 When they arrived at the top it was a beautiful, warm, and sunny day, with only the slightest of breezes. And Yeshua reached forth and touched Miriam lightly upon her cheek and asked, “Miriam, my love, are you ready to begin to more fully become who you were called to be before the world was?”

 14 Miriam reached out her hand and touched his cheek lightly as he did to her and said unto him, “Our Father and Mother have shown to me much that shall come to pass while I yet walk the Earth, dear one, but not everything. Though some of it seems but a dream, I am ready to receive all that you have to give at this time that I might accomplish all they would have me do and return to them as a worthy daughter.”

 15 Then they commenced to speak of the days to come and of the powers that Miriam must call unto her that she could become a tower and shield of Elohim for the Children of Light.

 16 For several hours, Yeshua imparted unto her secret knowledge of the Elohim, such things that cannot ever be written; nor were they ever known upon the world, even to the Apostles, but only by the Father and the Mother and Yeshua and Miriam. And even this was merely the beginning of all Miriam needed to learn to fulfill the full measure of her destiny.

 17 When at last Yeshua was finished speaking, darkness had begun to descend upon the land. Miriam held his hands and said unto him, “I am so humbled, my husband, by that which you have blessed me with, even some of the greatest secrets of the Elohim.

 18 Though my mind says I am a foolish girl to imagine that I could ever manifest the great powers you have spoken of, my love for you is pure and my faith in you is absolute. Therefore, if you tell me I can do these things, surely I know that I can do them.”

 19 Yeshua answered her, saying, “You still have much to learn and some time still to practice that which you have already learned, using the methods I have given unto you to call upon the powers of the Celestine Light. But practice in secret. Even to my Apostles, never reveal your powers, save it be at the very moment, they are needed for the protection or edification of the Children of Light.

 20 And when you manifest the great powers of the Celestine Light, see that you follow afterward with a sleep and a forgetting upon all who witnessed that which you did, save for the Apostles whom I have called and the highest of Adepts within the Celestine Light.

 21 Let there be no others to bear witness of the miracles you shall call forth, lest they forget about the Elohim they cannot see and begin to venerate and worship you whom they can.”

 22 Miriam nodded in assent, saying, “I understand, my beloved. Whenever I call upon the great powers of Heaven, the effects shall be evident, but the source shall be unknown among men.”

 23 From that day forth, Miriam began to practice in secret the greater powers of the Celestine Light that Yeshua had given to her openly, and she quickly became an Adept among Adepts.

 24 Then Yeshua stood up behind her and laid his hands upon her head and called her and set her apart to her destiny, saying, “Miriam of my heart, I call forth the aeon of Elohim to come upon you in fullness as you have capacity to receive it. Let every power and aeon of the Celestine Realm that you need at this time flow into you and imbue you with its light.

 25 You are called to fulfill your destiny in mortal flesh given to you at the foot of our Father and Mother before the creation of the world. And this until the time of your mortality is fulfilled, and you are called to your greater calling that still awaits.

 26 Unto the Children of Light, you shall be a tower of strength and a shield of protection against all the fiery arrows that might come upon them. As you continue to grow in knowledge and ability and into the fullness of your destiny, nothing shall be impossible to you as long as your love for me is eternal and your faith in the power of Elohim is perfect, even unto the filling of your soul. This I seal upon you in the name of the Elohim and by the authority given unto me. So be it!”

 27 “So be it!” echoed Miriam.

 28 Then Yeshua and Miriam stood facing each other, and holding hands, they stretched out their arms and lifted their hands up to the level of their heads. Looking steadfastly into each other’s eyes, Yeshua instructed, “Reach out to the heavens, Miriam; let the power of the Celestine Light come into you; call for it; beckon it; open yourself without doubt; and let it be one with your soul.”

 29 Miriam turned her head sharply upward toward the night sky, and still holding onto Yeshua’s hands, she cried out with a loud voice, “Father, Mother, I am here; your will be done.”

 30 In the distance, a great rumbling of thunder commenced and rolled quickly toward the mountaintop upon which they stood. So great was its sound that the very Earth began to shake, and at the base of the mountain, the Apostles looked at one another questioningly and some with apprehension.

 31 Then with a loud crack of thunder that caused all those at the base of the mountain to fall to their knees upon the ground, a mighty bolt of lightning shot forth out of the sky and, with a blinding explosion of light, landed upon Yeshua and Miriam.

 32 For a moment, the entire mountaintop was brighter than at noonday. Three times the thunder roared and three times the lightning struck the mountaintop so squarely upon Yeshua and Miriam that they disappeared completely in the light.

 33 Then the rumbling of the thunder faded, and the lightning was no more. But Yeshua and Miriam were still standing, illuminated in the moonlight, their skin aglow, holding hands and gazing into one another’s eyes, united in ways that perhaps no other two people ever could be.

 34 They remained like that, standing, holding hands, and staring with gentle intensity at one another for many minutes. Then in a quiet voice, Yeshua said, “In me, the world sees miracles of renewal, and they question if what they see is of God. In you, they shall see miracles of power, and they shall not doubt the source from which it comes.”

 35 At last, they came down from the mountain and returned to their friends. But they spoke not a word about what had occurred upon the mountain. And though everyone wished to know, none dared ask them.
