Third Sermon
“Donning the Master’s Sword”
The hands of your fellow brethren have laid the foundation of this temple; and the hands of your fellow brethren are now beginning to complete its stronghold. Through your studies and actions, we, under this delicate ceiling, are Awake, as if from humanity’s deep sleep. (Zechariah 4:1)
What are you, mighty mountain? Before Brothers’ building, you shall become level ground! We are the Twelfth Tribe and together are obligated to bring out the Capstone. By way of might and power, the Light of the ancient spirit burns within each of us!
Who is the man here tonight who despise the day of small things? (Zecharaih 4:10)
What man here tonight doth say these things:
“Meaningless! Meaningless!
All perception proves meaningless!
What do people gain of their daily labors which they toil under the sun?
Generations come; and generations go.
The earth is all that is forever.
Sunrise; sunset; marking counted days.
It returns and rises again from where it had risen.
The wind blows to the south and turns to the north.
‘Round and ‘round it goes, forever returning on its course.
All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full.
To the place where streams flow from, there they return again.
All things become wearisome.
The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.
What has been will be again.
There is nothing new under the sun.
It was all here already, long ago.
It was here before our time.
No man remembers former generations; and
even those to come
will not be remembered
by the generations to follow them.”
We have gathered here to rebuild David’s fallen tent. Its ruins- we now rebuild, and we restore it!
Do not seek revenge or bear any grudges against anyone. Now, from this zero hour, and beyond, love all of our neighbors’ lives as much, or more, than you value your own happiness and safety. Love is the ruler of this plane. Fear, or hate, is the perpetuation of their global deceit. Fellow Brothers, let us not love with words or speech, but by actions and in truth. (1st John 3:18)
What good is it, Brothers, if any one of you claim to exercise good faith, Fathers, Brothers and Sons, if you do not prove so by deeds? If a person is without clothes and daily food, and you say to them, “Go you in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but you neglect to provide for their physical needs, what good, and where is your faith? Faith alone, if not accompanied with action, is dead.
The first vow which every man here tonight must prove, in order to become Unrecognized as a knight of the Old Royal Order is explained by First John in Chapter Three, verse Eighteen. This is the most important vow; therefore, illuminates this Tribe as, “Most Distinguished”. To spell it out, “Go You!”
