Toen we een tijdje geleden het deksel van deze religieuze sekte-pot liftten (met ons interview met Michael Travesser – de zogezegde verrijzenis van Christus – en de daaropvolgende emails die ons door zijn volgelingen gestuurd werden), hadden we niet echt door dat het daar binnen zo zou gaan stinken. Enfin, de stortregen van commentaar door de Grote Man zelf en zijn toegewijden hadden ons zeker angst aangejaagd als we zouden begrijpen waar ze het in godsnaam over hebben…

Travesser and his pals steadfastly denied bedding down nude with his
virgins, but then over the weekend we anonymously received this 50-page
screed about the “Spiritual Consummation of the Seven Virgins.” We know
what you’re thinking, “So, did he zoink them or what?”

Well, here’s a greatly, greatly abridged version of what we were
sent if you want to try to figure it out and tell us, but we understand
if you’re getting a little yawny at this whole thing (we’re starting to
feel the same way)… The Father in heaven has recently taken our
church into a deeper experience, especially in regard to the earth view
of God’s images and symbols as opposed to seeing them from the
viewpoint of heaven… In our land here, I saw that God was setting up
circumstances with us, to bring men to judgment. This judgment was not
merely for those in the world, but for those closely associated with
our own congregation. It would be a judgment based on how men judge
themselves… The Father told me that the judgment would begin when two
young virgins would come and ask to lie naked on my bed with me. The
Father did not reveal to me that I should be naked with them. I dared
not share this with anyone, not even my closest associates, to avoid a
personal creation of those things out of the imaginations of men. I
never uttered a word of what Father had shown me. This startling
revelation would indeed serve to judge the church, for it would open up
into a giant exposure the true motives and intents of the soul… The two
virgins who were to come, would be seen by me as pure, holy, souls,
whom I was responsible for. They would be as children to me, innocently
coming to lie down with and be close to daddy. But the world would view
this from their own perverted tendencies, and their own lusts, and see
either the girls, or myself, as coming from the place of sexual
attraction, or with me, molestation… What actually would be happening
is that the young virgins would be coming to lie naked with God, and
His Spirit would come upon them and deliver them from their fears and
personal torments. I would hold them, put my hand on their heart, and
they would be healed. At the same time, the world stands judged because
if this were to happen in the world, the girls would be molested and
the men of earth would be hot and salivating to do something to them.
For me, the young women would be as with a physician, and one who
understands the issues of the heart and soul. It is my Life for theirs.
Two weeks after Father told me these things, beginning July 12, a young
woman came to my house. She stated to me after some discussion that it
was on her heart to lie naked on my bed with me. I remembered what God
had already told me would happen, so I consented, fulfilling the Word
as from the Father in heaven. After the virgin woman left my house, I
knew the second virgin would soon come. The next day, July 13, another
young woman came to my door. She seemed quite troubled and afraid to
tell me what the Father had put upon her to do. I waited and she
finally told me that Father had put upon her to lie naked with me on
the bed. She said that the vision had been coming to her for about two
weeks. This was the second virgin, as the Father had said. The Father
told me that this event would also mark the acceptance of the church.
What this revealed was that the church, “the Woman,” would lie down
naked and yielded to the Son of God… Immediately the five other young
women whom the Father had called to be His messengers came to me
individually and told me that it was on their hearts to come and lie
naked with me on my bed. But there was more. The young ladies shared
with me that they saw clearly that I am the Son of God, and their
desire to be with me was not a human drawing. Since receiving their
request, they shared how they had been delivered from fears and other
emotions that had troubled them, when they were naked and vulnerable
with me on my bed, and six of the young women desired a closer
connection with me and asked for an intimate physical relationship with
me. My response to each one was that the Father would arrange those
things which were on His heart to accomplish and He would arrange
anything which was to come. This revelation was initially startling to
me, for I had never considered it before they had requested it of me.
My first inner-response
to these “intimacy” requests was a terror of what that would mean to
me. For one thing, I had no desire for a physical relationship with
these young women. It was not that they were not worthy souls, but the
mountain of impossibilities for these things seemed staggering. I began
to consider the ramifications and my self-interests. Could I survive
such a thing? But more than that, two of the young women were legally
minors, and that could mean jail time… Now it becomes evident how the
church would be judged by these events. Two of those persons who
requested intimacy were minors. Truly, if I were to carry out this
request, I would, according to the state, be a criminal… Shortly after
this, while in prayer one evening when I told God that I would not be
doing these things, I felt the Holy Spirit leave me. I felt as though
the Father was saying to me, “Okay, I will release you and get someone
else to carry out My purposes.” I was suddenly stricken with a terror I
have not felt before. Also, I was without God, and confusion began to
set into my mind. I called out immediately for the Father and asked Him
not to take His Holy Spirit from me, for I would be left desolate…
After this revelation of the removal of the Spirit, I told the Father
that I would do whatever He asked of me, but I could not live without
His Spirit. I prayed this way for about three days, and on the third
day the Holy Spirit returned in a double portion… I decided not to
share any of these things with the parents or the church members, and I
told the girls to keep it to themselves and speak of it to no one. I
did this to take the “cult leader” pressure out of it. I knew that men
of influence might be able to convince their congregations to do one
thing or another… Their earth view, the carnal and natural view of man,
with their own perversions, blocked them from seeing heaven’s view. One
sister wrote to me a little time ago and said, “I want to go all the
way with God or not go at all.” So, Father said, “Okay, I will give you
something to go all the way with.” So He brought the vision to her, and
she did not even go one step with God. She stopped right there,
consulting her miserable flesh, to see if it was safe to follow God.
She was like the Israelites who feared their earthly giants and would
not go all the way into Canaan with God. They failed, and were doomed
to spend the rest of their lives in their wilderness wanderings, lost
and without God in their natural world. I would not give a stick for
any soul’s religion that is a religion of self-protection. The religion
of my Father is intimate, vulnerable, naked, and truthful. One of the
Seven said to me, “I saw that our nakedness is the returning of the
soul to Eden. Adam and Eve were bound up in their flesh when clothed,
but when naked they could walk in the cool of the evening with the
heavenly Master without shame or deception…” This hard time was also
meant to drive away the dishonest in heart who lie about believing in
God when they do not believe in God at all. They only believe in their
perverted imagination formed by the corruptions of their own mortality.
They say that they want to go all the way with God, but they do not
mean it. They actually go all the way with their flesh instead. The
Father has revealed these most difficult things to make His children
ready for the year of rest, and to thrust the dishonest in heart into
their year of trouble. For as the children of Israel, they are
disingenuous and self deceived… No matter what the future holds, as I
laid on my bed, the Father told me this: Tell the mob, who is against
this land, there is no child pornography, adultery, fornication,
molestation, human marriage, polygamy, or sex. Those are the crimes of
your world, but not the crimes of My world. MICHAEL TRAVESSER
