CENTURIA V · QUATRAIN LIII
The Empty Temple
La loi du Sol & Venus contendens,
Appropiant l'esprit de prophetie:
Ne l'un ne l'autre ne seront entendus,
Par Sol tiendra la loy du grand Messie.
The law of the Sun and of Venus contending,
appropriating the spirit of prophecy:
neither the one nor the other will be understood,
by the Sun will be held the law of the great Messiah.
THE MASTER SAYS…
Although this quatrain is astrological and allegorical, it concerns the development of Christianity. It shows how Christianity lost its spirit. The mindset and inclinations of people did not agree with what the Catholic Church allowed to be printed in the Bible. Both the spirit and emotions of people were not in agreement with the church. But they continued to follow it with their minds, because their parents did so. The teachings as presented in the Bible were followed superficially, without true conviction. As a result, the structure of the church will be like a building that decays in times of hardship. It will look normal and whole, but in reality it is about to crumble to dust. The Catholic Church will not be the only one to decline at this time. The vibrations have changed for the worse, and they are getting out of control. Their path of development is not in agreement with the spirit of God. During a period of unrest, the balance temporarily changes, in which the so-called “evil” forces seemingly gain the upper hand. But the forces then, by the law of the pendulum, “roll back,” and things will be balanced again after a time of troubles and turmoil. At this time the balance is overturned, so negative influences can easily develop. With the balance shifted somewhat in their direction, they can flourish under the outward shell of good. This is what is meant in the Scriptures when it says that they are known by the fruits of their tree. In December 1990, Venus will be in a close aspect to the Sun in the sign of Sagittarius. This will be a time of ascent. Changes will begin to occur in people’s souls, and for now will not be so obvious. The so-called “Christians” will still maintain their positions, but they will unwittingly destroy themselves. Those who are truly spiritual will not have to do anything: they will simply enter free space. These events will surge like a river over the next decade, but he does not name any exact date.
