Tonight, I sensed much fear at The Temple. I can understand why you may have had fear in your hearts; for so long, false leaders have buoyed your spirit, only to dash your hopes. However, you should not have fear as you have in the past, for it is written, “Fools! Do not doubt me as you doubted the one that came before me, for he was but a child, but I am a man.� (1st Moore 3:12-13).

In fact, the glorious events of this evening were foretold in the Great Saban’s sermon to the believers at Fort Deposit. Reading from the Book of the Process, chapters 17-19:

“And after they ate together, the Teacher said, ‘Come close, my friends, and I will tell you of a day of triumph yet to come. It is a day where the sun will burn bright, and then be covered by the darkest cloud…but it will burn through the cloud, and be brighter than ever.’

And one of the followers said, ‘Teacher, tell us, why will the sun burn through the clouds? In the past, when the clouds came, the rain was sure to follow.’ And the Great Leader said, ‘Verily, the present is not the past.’

And he continued his story, saying, ‘A great battle will be had between my followers and the poor pigs from the desolate lands west of the Great River. They will be led by a man of great distinction, for he is more Beast than man. He will know not fear nor pain, and the strikes of my forces shall not harm him, but will bounce off him like the arrow that strikes the armor. His armies shall be pushed back, and our victory will look sure, but I will know that victory is not sure. The Beast shall rally his men, and they shall cry, ‘We shall take this day!’ But know well, my children, I will tell my general, ‘This is your time,’ and he shall know it is his time, and he shall fight like we have not yet seen him fight before. Victory shall be tasted by all who follow me, and verily I say to you, you all shall fall upon your knees and praise me this day.’
