The Garden of Gethsemane

CHAPTER 89

Yudas Iscariot says farewell to everyone and departs for his special mission given by Yeshua. -The remaining apostles, Yeshua, Miriam and Salome go to the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives. -Yeshua and Miriam ascend to a place between Heaven and Earth where she takes on the mantle of the Angel and the Covenant. -Yeshua and Miriam enter the Garden of Gethsemane where Yeshua suffers the full weight of the sins of all the people of all worlds. So great is his suffering that he bleeds from every pore. 

  1 At the end of the feast days, Yeshua had Miriam, Salome and all of the Apostles joined him in a circle at the center of the room, and Yeshua said unto them, “This will be my last day with you before I return from the light of my divine Mother and Father.

  2 Yudas Iscariot will leave us as we depart this place to fulfill that which I have asked him to do. To others it will seem that he betrays me, but let it be known to you and the Children of Light that he has honored me by obeying my wishes.”

  3 Each and every one of the Apostles including Miriam, and Salome all spoke a few words of gratitude to Yudas Iscariot and promised they would remember why he did what he was about to do, although none save Miriam knew exactly what that was to be.

  4 Then Yudas made to depart and turning one last time to look at his friends he said unto them, “As Yeshua has said and Salome sung for us, greater love has no man than this; that he would lay down his life for his friends. I know each of you would do no less, and please know that I have been so greatly honored and humbled to be numbered among you.” Then he went out the door and closed it behind him; and he was gone.

  5 Following the departure of Yudas Iscariot, Yeshua, Miriam, Salome and the remaining Apostles left the building where they had been cloistered for the feast and walked to the Mount of Olives where Yeshua led them to a secluded garden area, absent of any other people, called the Garden of Gethsemane.

  6 Together they gathered in a circle upon their knees and prayed to the divine Mother and Father; first Yeshua, and then each of the others in turn.

The Angel of the Covenant

  7 When they were finished Yeshua took Miriam's hand and led her to the center of the circle. He spoke quietly to her in her mind so no others could hear, “It is now time to fulfill your greater calling my love.  Are you prepared to become that which you were foreordained to before the world was?”

  8 “Yes, my Lord,” Miriam affirmed. “I am ready to serve the Elohim with humility and clarity as I have been called and foreordained before the world was.”

   9 Yeshua smiled at her and she smiled back. They were facing each other and holding one another's hands, and Yeshua leaned forward and kissed Miriam lightly on the lips.

  10 Then they both closed their eyes and tilted their heads up towards the clear sky. Suddenly great puff balls of white clouds began to gather until the sky was soon thick with billowy white clouds hanging low toward the ground.

  11 As Yeshua and Miriam continued to hold hands with their eyes closed and their heads tilted toward the heavens, a dense white pillar of cloud came swirling down from the mass of clouds above and completely engulfed them.

  12 It was but a moment upon the ground and then it quickly withdrew and rose back into the sky becoming one again with the great body of clouds. And when it had cleared, the Apostles and Salome saw that Yeshua and Miriam were no more among them, but had disappeared with the pillar of cloud up into the sky.

  13 Yeshua and Miriam came to stand atop the highest cloud. In the distance and from all directions there was the approaching sound of trumpets and then suddenly many heavenly beings encircled them.

  14 And Miriam asked Yeshua, “Who are these hosts of heaven?”

  15 Yeshua answered, saying, “They are some of my Father and Mother's angels who have come to witness the moment when you will be numbered among them.”

  16 “Truly?” Miriam said somewhat in awe. “Even now, when there is so much upon your shoulders and weighing upon your heart, you do me this honor?  But if it is to be now, I know of a certainty that it is the time that best serves Elohim, and I am most humbled.”

  17 “Yes Miriam,” Yeshua replied. “Now is the time that you are called to fulfill the greatness of your promise.”

  18 Then a man with brown hair and a flowing beard, dressed in white robes with shimmering gold and colored threads and a large purple sash around his waist stepped forward, and Yeshua put his hand upon his shoulder and introduced him to Miriam, saying, “This is Halakata. He is currently the Angel of the Covenant and will remain so in fullness while you learn the secrets of your calling.”

  19 Miriam nodded her head toward Halakata and said unto him, “It is an honor to meet you Halakata.  How long have you been the Angel of the Covenant?”

  20 “I have no idea,” answered Halakata. “I know exactly when I am supposed to be any place in the Celestine realms or upon any Earth in the heavens, but know not how that relates to the time as you keep it upon the world you have called home.”

  21 “He has served faithfully and well for a very long time,” Yeshua assured Miriam. “And this on many Earths. Now he has progressed in the expansion of his Celestine Light beyond the office of the Angel of the Covenant and has been called to something greater.

  22 All of this is as my divine Father and Mother have decreed it should be, even down unto the very minute and hour of the time that only the Elohim know.

  23 Now it is upon you Miriam to receive the mantle of the Angel of the Covenant and to fulfill that calling upon this Earth and all others in the heavens.  But upon this one in particular for the next eleven years. Do you accept this high and holy calling?”

  24 “You know that I do my Lord,” she answered with conviction.

  25 Yeshua nodded his head in acknowledgment then said unto her, “In the name and by the power of Elohim - so let it be!”

  26 A blinding white light immediately emanated from the body of Miriam and filled all the sky as far as the eye could see. Just as suddenly as it came upon her, it was gone and she stood before Yeshua and Halakata and all the angels who bore witness, no longer as Miriam of Magdala, but as the Angel of the Covenant, emissary of the Elohim and protector of the Children of Light.

  27 And her hair had become white as the light that had shone in brilliance from her soul.

  28 When Yeshua and Miriam returned quietly to the Garden most of the Apostles were napping. Salome saw them first as they walked from behind a tree and she ran over to Miriam and embraced her with incredulity, saying, “Miriam what has happened to you? Where did you vanish to? Why is your hair all white?”

  29 “Calm down Salome,” Miriam requested in a loving voice. As she spoke all of the Apostles came and gathered around them. “All is well,” she said quietly. “Yeshua brought me to a place between Earth and Heaven to fulfill my promise to Elohim.”

  30 She reached up and pulled some of her long hair in front of her so she could see it. She let the white strands fall a few at a time through her fingers and looked at them quizzically.

  31 “I'm not sure why my hair turned white, as I am not any older, and the one whose office I am assuming had a full head of brown hair.” Saying this she looked to Yeshua for an explanation, but he merely smiled at her in response.

  32 “So it is done then?” asked Cephas. “Are you now the angel that Yeshua spoke of?”

  33 “Somewhat Cephas,” Yeshua answered. “She is now the Angel of the Covenant, but the previous Angel of the Covenant will remain, still carrying the greater load and helping to guide her in her knew calling, until her time in the flesh upon this Earth is complete.”

  34 “But I am still the woman you have known in most ways that you can see, other than my hair,” Miriam replied.

  35 “Then pardon me for asking,” Toma interjected. “But if you are still the same, standing here among us, how are you an angel?" 

  36 “In ways you shall discover when the time is appropriate Toma. And the first of those times will soon be upon you,” answered Yeshua.

No Greater Love Has Anyone Than This

  37 Yeshua took a deep breath and let it slowly exhale. Then he spoke with great seriousness to Salome and his Apostles, “My time has come to fulfill much that I have come here to do. Miriam and I shall withdraw together further into the garden, a stone's cast away. Please keep watch upon the gate and insure that we are not disturbed.”

  38 The Apostles affirmed that they would watch the gate and Miriam and Yeshua withdrew to a secluded part of the garden.

  39 Standing next to a tree with a low-lying swayed trunk, Yeshua disrobed except for his loin cloth and laid his robes upon the ground a short distance away from the tree.

  40 He asked Miriam to kneel upon the far side of the tree trunk and he knelt on the near side. They reached across the trunk and held hands and bowed their heads. 

  41 Then Yeshua prayed, saying, “Father and Mother, hear my words. At last the time has come to fulfill all that you have asked me to come here to do, for your children of spirit upon this world and for your children of spirit upon all other worlds.

  42 This I gladly do, for they are all my brothers and sisters and I love them. 

  43 I know that it is your desire that all of your children would return home to you in glory. But also I know that no unworthy soul can enter into your presence, for they cannot endure the brightness of your Celestine Light, unless their own resonance is in harmony and their own light shines in ways greater than the mortal world.

  44 But all of my brothers and sisters upon this Earth and upon all others, have sinned and fallen far short of your glory. 

  45 Even my brethren, my Apostles who wait at the gate, have lived in the world and in many ways have been a part of it. They seek so much to do good and to please you. They have repented of their sins, but there is still darkness even in them.

  46 You have decreed that there is no darkness, only diminished light, and that no one whose light has diminished can enter into your presence until they have become purified in fullness of the Celestine Light.

  47 I am your firstborn of spirit, and only begotten son in the flesh. I am in you and you are in me in all things, therefore I am pure and I am in fullness of the Celestine Light.

  48 Because of the love you have both given me, and the knowledge you have guided me to, and the example you have shown me, and the wisdom you have taught me, my Celestine Light is great.

  49 I come to you in purity and love and ask that you will let me bear the pains of torment of every soul, upon every world for the darkness that they carry in their soul.

  50 Not just the souls who live today upon worlds innumerable, but also all the souls who have ever dwelt upon a physical world in the flesh, and all the souls that have not yet come down onto a physical world, but shall come down someday.

  51 Let me give some of my Celestine Light to them; to suffer the pains they would otherwise need to suffer as they sought to purge the darkness and become purer in the light that they might be worthy to be in your presence.

  52 I tremble at the magnitude of that which I have asked. If there was a way that this cup of misery could pass from me I would be tempted to take it. But I know there is no other way, and my love for my brothers and sisters of spirit is too great to let any of them perish or suffer needlessly, when I could save them.

  53 Therefore let the weight of the sins of the world and the weight of the sins of all worlds come upon me. Let me feel the torment that all people would suffer without a portion of my Celestine Light to be given for them. 

  54 I pray that you will grant that hereafter, any who repent of their sins and do them no more, and live joyously and fully in the Celestine Light, will not have to suffer at the last day on the Judgment of Resonance for the darkness that might still be in them.  Let the inadequacies of their resonance be filled with my Celestine Light; even until they are worthy to come into your presence.”

  55 So saying, Yeshua cried out with a loud voice of agony. Miriam held tightly to his hands and called out to him, but he did not answer her.

  56 For three hours he remained kneeling at the tree holding Miriam's hands, sobbing and frequently crying out in pain and torment. 

  57 He began to sweat profusely and so great was his anguish that soon his sweat turned into drops of blood that ran down and covered his naked skin until he was red with blood.

  58 As the third hour ended he let out a great sigh and laid his head upon the tree and still holding Miriam's hands, he fell asleep.

  59 Before the next hour he awakened and going over to a basin at a nearby flow of water, he and Miriam washed the dried blood off of his body. 

  60 Putting on his garments once again, he nodded silently to Miriam, and together they returned to the place where the Apostles and Salome waited for them.
