ON SLAVERY

ON SLAVERY
Dear Father of all men and races,
I have been confused for a long time now. Do you, as written in the statutes such as in the Exodus21, Leviticus 25, and Deuteronomy 15, approve slavery?
"Yes, but not the cruel treatment that went with it as happened in the Southern states of the U.S. in the past centuries. There in the Old Testament, you can see that I made two classes of slaves: the fellow Hebrew slaves and the alien slaves. You can see it in your above mentioned Scriptures. But my dear son, for love’s sake, I did not say that you as master would have My approval to maltreat your slaves, your fellow Hebrew or racial brothers for that matter, nor the alien.
True, those verses, I made it clear that fellow blood brothers will have better privileges and opportunities than the alien slaves (Exodus 21:2-11; Deuteronomy 15:12-18). You shall pave the way to make your racial brother slaves free.
But I did not mean that you will hate the aliens especially the slaves. What did I say or command was that you will progress to practice the same law or treatment to them as you had given to your racial brothers who are your slaves. Therefore, in due time, you will also extend the same privileges. Did I not say it? Same law shall be practiced to the aliens, no double standard. In degree of love, I must admit I played "favorite" such as I favored the more obedient Jacob than the more wayward Esau. But I did not ‘hate’ Esau to the point of losing all My primordial love for him. My ‘hate’ or ‘anger’ or ‘wrath’ or ‘penalty’ has love as its matting. I also favored the Israelites over the others as you can read in many verses such as Leviticus 25:39-43; Exodus 19:5-6; Deuteronomy 4:6-8; 28:1, 10. But such favor was not to provoke wrong envy among the less loved others or nations; rather, it was to invoke the right kind of jealousy when the disobedient children saw that the obedient were more blessed and better treated; hence, it leads them to obedience to the right way of life. It provokes the disobedient to copy (follow) the obedient ones. So, My supposedly playing of favoritism is not for long; same special treatment shall be extended to the new converts of My love. It is meant to be. So, do not misunderstand My subtle ways but always think that everything is wisely based on My love. Even My wrath in the book of Revelations is in reality ‘love’. Time will come when all people will realize that as you do.
In your dealings, you may favor your blood brothers only to enhance your overall ability for your thus stronger family to help the less able other brothers who may not be your blood relatives or racial brothers. Aim to strengthen your family as well as your nation in order to reach out to your other brothers in other families or countries! That is My will.
In short, that you shall pave the way for the spiritual and then the physical freedom of those who had been taken as slaves. Like what I did with the Israelites: I picked them out of slavery in Egypt, emancipated their minds through the Ten Commandments et al, and their hearts through My living law of love to save them from slave-mentality and slave-emotions, and led them ultimately placing them to a free state in Canaan.
What I did, you also shall do to those who are slaves; if it were not possible for you to do it to a whole nation, then, do it to individuals.
But how can you do that if you were not first freed by Me from the spiritual Egypt - that is, the world? How can you free others if you are slaves yourself? Therefore, avail first of My true freedom, first of the spirit (mind and heart) and then, of the body, that is, health, economic and financial freedom. As long as sin still holds control over your mind and heart, you are still its slaves. You must be set free from sin. Only then will you be ready to help emancipate others from sin, the great enslaver.
Slaves and aliens (strangers), along with the orphans and widows take special place in my heart. I am their Father and their God. Here I do not count blood-based relationship but spirit (emotional-mental) relationship. Since I am your Father in Spirit, therefore, you all are brothers and sisters before Me. Look throughout the Old Testament, and My other Scriptures and you will find how much I love this less privileged group who are on earth.
I place the responsibility on My strong and able children to look upon this weak group who are their brothers and sisters…while I am far away on My travel to a far country (Matthew 24). I truly expect My strong children to take care of their helpless brothers.
Slavery I did allow only in the kind of work such as in the case of mentally less advanced race like the past blacks, but not slavery in the heart nor in oppressive conditions! I allowed them to come to you, so you will free their spirit from spiritual cages and prison cells such as superstitions, wrong doctrines to the teachings of liberty of Christ, so that they will also avail of the freedom I had given you. And what have you done? Like the Pharisees in Jesus’ time, "you travel land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are"!
Take analysis on that, My son.
What I mean is this: A master may employ an alien but not to treat him love-lessly, but as a lost brother or a brother from far away. For the spiritual being inside that black body is your kin! Read: your brother!
Furthermore, I did not tell those white masters to stop working; for My higher law in the 10 Commandments say that all must work for 6 days. Therefore, those landladies who let themselves be fanned while being served with food by their black servants were doing too much. "Masters" and "slaves" must all work My work, though the work of the first differs from that of the latter, but they are all works of love for one another and for the Father.
In America and Europe, it was not My pleasure. I mean, their kind of slavery I did not approve!
My white children committed two atrocities in the new continent (America), namely: maltreating the native Indians and maltreating the forcedly imported slaves from Africa. And that they do under the banner of Christ; for they called themselves Christian. They had painted black on the name Christ. They put a block in Christianity into which the strangers and the weak stumbled.
This batch of pilgrims (migrants) from Europe had not yet cleansed off themselves of the dirt of the old world; they brought it with them instead! They wanted freedom for which reason they left the old world, and yet when they arrived in America to obtain such freedom, they then deprived the blacks that freedom and then practiced the same evil of "ruling over their fellowman". I did not teach such doctrine and practice. Did you think I taught or told them to rule over their fellowmen?
You were mistaken My son! For in Genesis 1, I made My eternal will clear: You will rule over the fauna and the flora - only! And such rule was not to be abusive to these lower forms of life. It is disappointing of you to have cruelly mismanaged the earth and destroyed these lower forms of life, meant to be for your life and happiness. Look and see, you had harmed, hurt and destroyed the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom too, yes, the whole environment, as you call it. And what do you reap for the wrong deed you have done? Feeling offended, they refuse to give you food and life!
You see to that!
For I have only ordained two kinds of relationships for us: that of Father and son, and that of between brothers!
Before that is attained in full in My kingdom, I have made use of another relationship to serve as a step: that of husband and wife."
Father, so You now approved the more humane employment over that inhumane slavery done in Europe and America in the past centuries?
"Yes, of course! That is better, but of course, not the best. However, I am leading you through evolution in your awareness and character. I am not forcing mankind but leading them to become more humane and mature in brotherly love. Behold, Deuteronomy 15 is My ideal, namely: That you will come to aid your servants or slaves or employees, the name doesn’t matter, only the love in your heart; you shall aid them towards their spiritual freedom first, then, their economic freedom second.
Teach them My Law of Love and its 10 Commandments. The latter magnifies the former. Then they will become strong in mind and heart and thus no longer slaves of unrighteousness (read: sin), but My new "slaves" so to speak and this kind of slaves possesses the greatest freedom! Remember the aim of your nurturing them: that they come to obey My laws and commands out of love, and no atom of external coercion shall be found in such obedience for it to be pure and acceptable sacrifice to Me like the pure unblemished sacrifice of Abel which I readily accepted. If you, as the human employer or master (the title does not matter much) succeed in this, then, you have the honor of having led your lost brother, in same skin or different color than yours, back to the Father. For it is your greatest mission to lead them, the lost prodigal sons of Mine, back to Me.
That is all I want. My son. Amen."
Yes, I know. But thank you for reminding me. That is why I come here too: To lead them back to You. Father, please give me another 40 years, and equip me with the motivating power of love, so that I can fulfill my mission.
Father, the small spark, that small star I saw in my childhood dream which was alone in a completely dark universe. Father, it grew and grew and grew until it filled the whole vast universe and occupied all spaces and all darkness disappeared. That was a symbol of Your family. The angel told me so.
"Yes. My blessings be with you, your country and your planet. Amen."
Thank you. I - we - love You.
