1. FOR THOSE ON WHOM THE END OF THE AGE HAS COME!

This writing is a rendition from the un-canonized and incomplete work of the book called “The Apocryphon of James”.

There are a few sentences that infer this text belongs to a coming class of believers. James had identified one epistle as pertaining to himself alone, and another epistle started with Christ calling James and Peter away and telling the rest to go about whatever it was that they were doing. This is essentially where most believers leave off in the faith waiting for God to do something else for them. They go about the affairs of their lives giving acknowledgment to the Almighty God, but then remain largely unchanged and in general unidentifiable from the culture around them. This Epistle does NOT pertain to them but to “THOSE WHO WILL YET COME” as we quote from the coming text. This belongs to those at the end, of those “on whom the end of the age has come”. These old texts only make sense to them as “THOSE WHO WILL YET COME

Note; because this text was not for them at that time, and those in between them and us did not understand these writings either, we have taken extra steps to ensure that this text fits into the progression of faith with the Elect in mind. Not meaning that those up till now are of lessor value, but for those who are said “the first shall be last and the last shall be first” in regard to the measurement of the harvest and the obstacles they’ve had to face.

This is obviously NOT meant for those under the old covenant NOR to those during the resurrection of Christ as you will read, but to “a coming class of believers”. We know these as those “ON WHOM THE END OF THE AGE HAS COME”. That as “the wheat and the tares mature together” and that “the first shall be last and the last shall be first”, that there are those who will be right on time as the Gospel reaches its conclusion of bringing “many sons (and daughters) to Glory”.

This book is for those “who have pressed in despite some greater obstacles and laid hold of why the Heavenly Father laid hold of them.

If you are not counted among those who endure, and if you don’t know, then you’ll want to find out because we may be on the cusp of the end of things as you know them. You’ll need to know what is-real and what is not, because with each concept of God, there are equally believable counterfeits. And with each new empowerment given to the Elect, there is a greater responsibility, meaning a need to respond.

It is here that you may decide to opt out because after you are shown what is next, if you are not meant for this empowerment, you may incur the wrath or discipline of God with the rest of the traitors and impostures or just lackadaisical throughout the ages.

Here is a key to all counterfeits.

The real is eternal and unchangeable. The counterfeits and deceivers are always changing and modifying their tactics to suppress the masses with distractions to keep them earth bound and looking down. Their intention is to keep you spiritually bereft and mentally earth bound and spell bound by your circumstances and your surroundings. However “the earth and all its works shall be burned for the Eternal to remain”, for Gods things to be without mixture. “So what manner of persons aught you to be in all manners of holiness and righteousness. It has been here since the beginning and endures till the end as being “The kingdom of God at hand” and “The Kingdom prepared from the foundations of the world.

Meaning that we need to “lay hold of eternal life” now because that is all that is left in the end. Everything else is for our development, enrichment, empowerment and our endowment, or instead just doubt and be about your distractions as Christ tells some in this coming text.

It depends on what you do with yourself that determines your outcome on the other side of the vale because, The Kingdom of God is at hand!! Still. (What is in parentheses have been added)

THE APOCRYPHON OF JAMES. (starts here)

James writes (to the believers): Peace be with you from the source of Peace, love from the source of Love, grace from the source Grace, faith from the source of Faith, life from Holy Life!

 You had asked me to send you a secret/private book which was revealed ONLY to me and Peter by Yashuah/Joshua/Jesus. Since you could not cease asking about it and I could not detour you, (YOU were WARNED). So I now send it to you, but I have written it in the Hebrew for greater secrecy and I’ve sent it to you, and you alone. (BECAUSE THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY)

Now that you are a (selected) minister of the (gospel of) salvation for the (perfecting of the) saints, do endeavor earnestly to take care NOT to rehearse this text to many. For the Savior did NOT wish us to show it to all His twelve disciples. But blessed will they be who will be (confirmed and empowered) THROUGH THE FAITH. Ephesians 4.13) and the application of this discourse. (Of those other than than the the remaining disciplesas those who would come after).

Similarly I sent you another secret book about ten months ago, which the Savior had revealed to me under the (similar) circumstances. Regard that one as belonging to me alone, but this one is for those who are yet to come (nearing the completion of time).

(This is the text of inquiry which begins the separation process.)

The twelve disciples were all sitting together and recalling what the Savior had said to each one of them, whether in secret or openly, and scribing it in (their personal) books. But as I was scribing in my book and lo the Savior showed Himself to me while I was writing. (As He does to us who have the same practices).

Him having previously departing from us (Heaven bound) while we gazed at him (not resurrecting but ascending from carnal perceptions). And (now) it is five hundred and fifty days since he had risen (not from the dead but rising here meaning ascended into Heaven). So we said to Him (in the spirit), “have you (physically) departed and removed yourself from us (to leave us (orphans) like this? But He said, “No, but I went to the place from whence I came (to My place before creating). If you wish to come back with me then come”.

(It is here at this first juncture, that if you reject, a second coming Jesus becomes very enticing and seaming practical but wrong. Second coming is not a scriptural term)

Then they all answered and said, “If you are telling us to, we will come.” He said, “Verily I say to you, no one will ever enter the kingdom of heaven if I have to tell them to, but because you have become full (because you press in yourselves for this is The Kingdom always at hand)

Then He said (to further separate the disingenuous) “Leave to Me James and Peter so that I can fill them.” And having called these two, Christ drew them aside and bade the rest to occupy themselves with what they were doing. (To go about their daily lives, and the pressing issues of the day. Is that you?)

THE MESSAGE TO JAMES AND PETER START HERE.

Then the Savior said (only) to the two of who were left, “You have received mercy to no merit of your own, but because you have persisted in your inquiries and you have fought through the distractions that were meant to try your intentions, and because you avoided getting distracted and persistently and honestly wanted to know what I have to say. You have coveted greatly to always hear more, do you now desire to be filled (in this way) continually?

When your heart is drunken, do you not then desire to be sober? Then be ashamed! Because not waking (to more gifts in the spirit) or sleeping from these things all together (and going about the affairs of your daily life), remember that you have (already) seen the (Original) Son of Man (that Adam was patterned after in a physical way, and that others look forward to another time (like that, as if to return as them again). And you have spoken with Him face to face (in an eternal way that is distinct from the carnal senses), and listened to Him from His original construct (of time eternal. Hebrews 13.8 Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.)

Woe to those who have seen the Son of Man (in the flesh because (then) it’s hard to receive Him in another form. (Luke 24). But blessed will they be (meaning us who yet to come) who have NOT seen the Son (in the flesh), and those who have NOT consorted with Him (carnally), and they who have NOT spoken with Him in that way, and those who have NOT listened to anything from him (in human form but you hear Him). Your (reward is eternal) life!

Know, then, that I healed you when you were ill, (to restore to you your sovereignty that was lost when Adam fell).

(But of others who have not?) Woe to those who have found a (temporary) relief from their illnesses, for they will relapse (back) into illness (at least once a week). But blessed are they who have been sick (like that), and have known (a different) relief for their falling sick. This is the reward of the kingdom of God (free from the infections that made you sick and stole your sovereignty because you were still imaged like Adam, (ground bound and looking down and in need of a Savior)

That is why I say to you, “become full (of Me), and leave no space within yourselves empty, for the coming one (according to Satan with all lying signs and wonders” to distract you, and to embarrass you to fill you will something else, Do not flounder back and forth).

Then Peter replied, “Lo, three times you have told us, ‘Become full’; but we (thought we were) full. Then the Savior said “Because of this I have said to you, ‘Become full (and remain that way) so as not to be in want. It is those who are in (unquenchable) want (who fill themselves up with all sorts of distractions, these will not be (fully) saved (meaning to be restored to their full maturation). For it is good to be full, and good to be in want (so you can continuously press in for more).

Those who are then in want, will learn to remain full (because of their persistence and pressing in), and those who have been filled (by Me), they in turn attain gifts (made available to them through the gospel for the perfecting of the saints) for this cause (to come to the full knowledge of the Son of God, that brings us to a perfection, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; Ephesians 4.13)

That is why you must be in want while it is possible for you to be further filled to the full while it is possible to do so. So that you may be able to fill yourselves (all) the more (with spirit and truth, while you have the body that causes the resistance. For without resistance there is no growth).

In other words, become full of the Spirit, and be desires of reason, for reason belongs to the soul. In turn, it is (the purpose of the) soul, (to be filled so as to not have gaps left open for alternatives that cause uninvited internal turmoil.) That is the source your illness.

So I James said to Him, “we can obey you if you wish, for we have forsaken our fathers and our mothers and our villages, and (we have) followed you. So grant us not to be tested by the devil (and life’s many distractions).

The Yashuah then said to James, “What is your merit of doing the will of the Father if it is not given to you during the time you can be tested (to make sure there is a proper installation of your God given features?)

Then if you are oppressed or persecuted, and do (the Father’s) will (by applying the new gift given in time for this testing of your new spiritual enhancement, will you not then become a greater you?)

I say that the Father will love you, and make you equal with Me. (Ephesians 4.13) He builds you up in this way to have you become another beloved (joint heirs and co-equals). This is done through His providence and your own cooperation (to make your calling and Election more sure)

So, can you quit catering to the flesh, and quit being afraid of sufferings? Or do you not know that you have yet to be abused and to be accused unjustly? And you have yet to be shut up in prison, and condemned unlawfully, and (you have) yet to be crucified or to be buried as I myself was? Do you dare to spare the flesh, for whom the Spirit is a (protective) encircling wall around you? (That God will only let in what He for-ordained for your development to become more like Him?)

If you consider how long the world existed (before) you, and how long it can exist after you, then you will understand that (the length of) your (carnal) life is a single day and that your sufferings are for a mere moment in comparison to all of time. (let alone eternity)? For the good (that I have for you), will not enter into this present age. (This is why I have drawn you unto Me.)

Therefore scoff at (the threat of) death and take no thought for (preserving or saving) this life! Remember My cross and My death (as your death having been laid upon Me and not you), and you will live (what you think is later) now!” (Remember I took on your Adamic inheritance and curse of  death (to set you free from such fears and mental infections that caused disease).

But I James asked Him, “Yeshua, do not mention to us the cross and death, for that was awhile ago (in your former fashion of the flesh. (2 Corinthians 5.16) ” Christ answered and said, “Verily, I say unto you, no one will be perfected unless they believe in my cross (enough to see their old selves hang dead their too).

So those who have believed in my cross (in this way)? Theirs is the kingdom of God.,

Therefore become seekers (and accomplishers) for this kind of death, like the (walking) dead who seek for (an extension for their carnal) life; for what you seek is revealed to you (as you do so, if you have this mindset).

Verily, I say unto you, if you can receive this, what (really then) is there to trouble you? Because for you, when you examine death (in this light?) It will make you understand your Election (as not limited to this age and a selection of your choosing too!) of those who fear death (of the carnal body,) will have this kind of saving. For the kingdom belongs to those who (already) put themselves to death (in this way. (We’ve reckoned it so. Become better than I (for greater works shall ye do than I for I go to the Father and you see Me again no more) in the fashion of the flesh; make yourselves an offspring of (the word and) the Holy Spirit!”

JAMES AND PETER DIGRESS.

I then asked him, “Master, how shall we be able to prophesy to those (the blind) who request us to (entertain and) prophesy to them? For there are many who ask us (to tickle their ears), and look to us to hear a (new) oracle from us.” (As though they had already heard and applied what they’ve already heard.)

NOTE: It is here that James and Peter demonstrate that what they were previously told, bounced of their heads and produced no real change: Christ answered and said, Do you not know what it means, that the head of prophecy was cut off with John (the Baptist)? That Prophesy ended (with My arrival with The Kingdom at hand).

Then I asked, can it be possible to remove the head of prophecy?” (To cap it off as though the Law era is finished and has no forward speaking relevance?) Then Christ said to me “When you come to know what ‘head’ means, and that prophecy issues from a type of thinking, (in the head, then you will) understand the meaning of the head was removed (to mean for you to quit thinking that something still has to happen to fulfill the Law Culture. There is nothing new left to say but just repeat the gospel. The good news is that it is finished. Christ goes on to say) At first I spoke to you in parables, and you did NOT hear; now I speak to you without them, and you (still) do NOT perceive, (and you wish to go back to the Old like an adolescent returning to breast milk). Yet, it is even you who served me as parables for others yet to come (on whom the ends of the age have come) to learn from your mistakes and for that which is open, to remain open (for them who do not need parables to receive that which is theirs already as “The Kingdom Of God At Hand”, as their immediate empowerment as often as needed it for their personal endowment.)

Now then, hasten to reach this place without being urged! Instead be eager on your own accord and if possible arrive there (at the right hand of the Father) even before I do. For this reason the Father will love you like He loves Me because He sees in you the reflection of Himself you’ve learned from Me though this discourse.

“Come to hate double mindedness and every evil thought. For it is doubt that gives birth to double mindedness, and double mindedness is far (removed) from truth.” (Because truth is your union to your completion.)

“Do not let (your quest for) the kingdom of heaven to wither. Think of it is like a tree whose fruit has (already) dropped down and filled the branches. They (already have) put forth leaves, and after having sprouted, they caused their womb to dry up. (Meaning when it is over, it is done and time has expired, salvation will have ceased. Then let what is holy be holy” and visa versa).

So it is also with the fruit which had grown from this single planting (Christ). After the first fruits, then it had been fully ripened and harvested. Then the fruit being delivered to (the) all (of those who accept their Election and on whom the ends of the age have come). 

This tree (of the cross Galatians 3.13) was certainly good, (and) if it were possible for you to produce new plants like this, you would find the full gleaning of the full gospel (is this fruit and your new understanding). Which is the fulfillment of ALL the promises from the Father to fill in all the gaps (in your thinking,) so as to NOT  have any empty spaces (gaps or lapses of His coverage’s),  “Since I have already been glorified in this fashion (as a way for you to follow Me to be so as well, (that where I am, you may be also), in a form such as are specific (to you who have eyes to see and ears to hear of another nature (We call; the new you.) And this is the New you that cannot be touched, harmed or killed.)

For now you have been shown, how to put Me on by faith. (This is your invisible response to the invisible Father whose made you like Us in this way.)….

Why do you (continue to) hold Me back from my eagerness to go? For after My labor (pains at the cross), why do you compel me to stay (here in limbo) with you here? And you do this for the sake of more parables? (When I told you I would speak plainly about the Father?)

It was enough for some (to listen) to the teaching and understand (the parables of) ‘The Shepherds’ and ‘The Seed’ and ‘The Building’ and ‘The Lamps of the Virgins’ and ‘The Wages of the Workmen’ and the ‘two peices of silver’ and ‘The Woman.’

Become earnest about the word! For as to the word, its first part is faith; the second, love; the third is (invisible) works; for from these comes life. For the word is like a grain of wheat; when someone had sown it, he had faith in it; and when it had sprouted, he loved it because he had seen many grains in place of one. And when he had worked it, he was made whole, because he had prepared it for food, (and) again he left (some) to sow (for future reaping). So also you cannot receive the kingdom of heaven unless you harvest it as such and receive it through (growing in) knowledge. Or else you will NOT be able to find it.” (It does not appeal to the flesh).

I say to you, be (spiritually) sober and do not be deceived! Many times have I said to the all (meaning all disciples), and also to you alone, James, be completely saved! And I have commanded you to follow me, that where I am, ye may be also. And I have taught you what to say before the archons. (Get behind me, then ignore them or they will beat you down.).

Observe that I have descended and have spoken and undergone tribulation, and carried off My crown after providing a saving for you. For I came down to dwell with you (for this cause and effect), so that you in turn may (learn how to clamor up through the debris of the ages to) dwell with me. And, finding your (body) houses un-ceiled and open minded.

I have made my abode in the houses that could receive me at the time of my visitation upon them.” (Behold I come by stealth as a thief to give or take depending on your focus. therefore be alert (lest I leave you poor blind and naked!).

Trust in Me my brethren; understand what the great light is. You see it is the Father who has no need of Me, for a father does not need a son, but it is the son who needs the father – though I go to him. For the Father of the Son has no need of you. (As though you can add something to Him.

“Hearken to the word, understand knowledge, love life, and no one will persecute you, nor will anyone oppress you, other than you yourselves.”.

TO you wretches; O you unfortunates; O you pretenders of the truth; O you falsifiers of knowledge; O you sinners against the Spirit. Can you still bear to listen, when it is incumbent upon you to speak (more clearly) about My things from before time? Can you still bear being asleep to them when it behooved you to wake up to the beginning, so that the kingdom of heaven can receive you? (For this is your salvation and the Son is seated with the Father calling you to Himself “although the works were finished from the foundations of the world”.

Verily, I say unto you, had I been sent to those who listen to me (before I put on human form), and had I spoken with them, I would have never come down to earth (to prove to you that the Kingdom of God was already opened). So then, be ashamed for these things.

Behold, I shall depart from you and go away, and I do not wish to remain with you (like this) any longer (you must become like Me), just as you yourselves have not wished Me to go away.

Now follow me quickly. This is why I say unto you, ‘For your sake’s I came down).’ You are the beloved; you are they who will be the cause of life in many called the elect). Invoke the Father, implore God often, and he will give to you (more of Himself). Blessed are those who had seen you with Him when He was proclaimed among the angels, and glorified among the saints, for yours is this life (we refer to). Rejoice, and be glad, as sons and daughters of God. Keep his will, (this is His will) for your saving to have it’s conclusion. Accept reproof from Me and be saved yourselves (a seemingly selfish role). I intercede on your behalf with the Father, and His forgiveness continues to abound for you (as you do so).

The Disciples continuing this account said,  “And when we had heard these words, we became glad, for we had been grieved at the words we have mentioned before. But when Christ saw us rejoicing, He said, “Woe to you who lack an advocate! Woe to you who stand in need of grace! Blessed will they be who have spoken out and obtained grace for themselves (for theirs is The Kingdom.

Liken yourselves to foreigners; what sort are they in the eyes of your city? Why are you disturbed when you cast yourselves away of your own accord and separate yourselves from your city? Why do you abandon your dwelling place (in the flesh) of your own accord, making it ready for someone else who wants to dwell in it? O you outcasts and fugitives, (don’t you realize this is a parable of you?) Woe to you, for you will be tripped up! Or do you perhaps think that the Father is a lover of mankind, or that He is won over without seeking Him? Or that He grants permission to one on another’s behalf? Or that he bears with one who asks (hears and forgets) then walks away? – For He knows your desires (before you ask) and He also Knows what it is that the flesh needs! – (Or do you think) that it is this (flesh) that desires the soul? For without the soul, the body does not sin, just as the soul is not saved without the spirit. But if the soul is saved (when it is) without evil, and the spirit is also saved, then the body becomes free from sin (too). For it is the spirit that raises the soul, but the bodies (desires) that kills it. Verily, I say unto you that the Father will not forgive the soul that sins by any means, nor the flesh the guilt; for none of those who remain in the flesh will be saved. For do you think that many have found the kingdom at hand? Blessed are those who have seen them self as a fourth one in heaven!” J

AMES AND PETERS REACTION.

When we heard these words, we became distressed. But when He saw us distressed, he said, “For this cause I tell you this, you need to know your new selves.

THE PARABLE OF THE FRUIT.

For the kingdom of heaven is like an ear of grain after it had sprouted in a field. And when it had ripened, it scattered it’s seed and again filled the field with ears for another year. Likewise you must hasten to reap the seeds of life for yourselves (to be a new planting), in order for your being filled with the kingdom!” And as long as I am with you, press in to me, and obey me; but when I depart from you, remember me. And remember me because when I was with you, you did not know me. Blessed will they be who have known me (through this type of discourse.

Woe to those who have heard and have not believed! Most blessed will they be who have not seen Me, yet have believed (as though I am standing right there).

YOUR NEW BODY OF BELIEFS IS YOUR NEW HOUSE.

And once more I prevail upon you, for I am revealed to you building a house, which is of great value to you when you find shelter in it. Just as it will be able to stand by your neighbors’ house when theirs threatens to fall. Verily, I say unto you, woe to those for whose sake’s I was sent down to this place; blessed will they be who ascend to the Father (without needing to see Me in a carnal way for yours is the Kingdom!) Once more I reprove you, for you are to become like those who are invisible, for you to be with those who are invisible.”

Do not allow the kingdom of heaven to be like a desert within yousrlf (but tend to it like a garden). Do not be proud because of the light that illuminates you, but be to yourselves as I myself am to you. For your sakes I have placed myself under the curse, (for you to see how to come out).

Peter replied then said, “Sometimes you urge us on to the kingdom of heaven, and then again you turn us back.  Sometimes you persuade and draw us to faith and promises of life, and then again you cast us forth from the kingdom of heaven.

Then Christ said to us, “I have given you faith many times; moreover, I have revealed myself to you, James, and you (all) have not known me. Now again, I see you rejoicing many times; and when you are elated at the promise of life, are you yet sad? And do you (again) grieve, when you are instructed into the kingdom? But you, through faith and knowledge have received new life. therefore disdain the rejection when you hear it, (it is not directed at you) but when you hear the promise? Then rejoice the more (because that is your key to come on up). Verily, I say unto you, those who receive life and believe in the kingdom of God at hand, having worked through the negatives, they will never leave it, not even if the Father wishes to banish him.”

These are the things that I’ve  told you so far; now however, I shall ascend back to the place from whence I came. And as for you, when I was eager to go, have cast me out, and instead of accompanying me, you have pursued me. But pay heed to the glory that awaits me, and, having opened your heart, listen to the hymns that await me up in the heavens; for today I must take (my place at) the right hand of the Father. But I have said (my) last word to you, and I shall depart from you, for a chariot of spirit has borne me aloft, and from this moment on, I shall strip myself of your likeness, to be seen clothed in my original self.

Pay Attention! Blessed are you who have proclaimed My presence before My descent, so that when I do come, I can ascend (again with you in Me). Thrice blessed are they who know this and have proclaimed to be before by the Son before they came to he, in order for them to have a portion among them.”

Having said these words, Christ departed. But we bent (our) knee(s), I and Peter, and gave thanks, and sent our heart(s) upwards to heaven. But when we heard with our ears, and saw with our eyes, the noise of wars, and a trumpet blare, and a great turmoil (was in between us, Abraham 15).

And when we had passed beyond that place, we sent our minds farther upwards, and saw with our (other) eyes and with our (other) ears we heard angelic hymns, and benedictions, and angels rejoicing, and heavenly majesties were singing praise, and we, too, rejoiced with them.

After this again, we wished to send our spirit upward to the Majesty, and after ascending, we were not permitted to see or hear anything, for the other disciples called us (as if to wake from a trance) and asked us, “What did you hear from the Master. And what has he said to you? And where did he go?”

Then we answered them, “He has ascended, and has given us a pledge, and promised life to us all, and He revealed to us His other children who are to come after us, after bidding us love them, as we would be saved for their sakes.” Of those on whom the ends of the age have come.

And when they heard (this), they indeed believed the revelation, but were displeased about those who would be born after (as wrapping up the age). And so, not wishing to give them offense, I sent each one to another place. But I myself went up to Jerusalem, praying to pbtain a portion among the beloved, of those who will (later) be made manifest, (that Christ kept talking about.)

And I pray that (which was in) the beginning may come from you too (meaning you who are reading this as of those who are yet to come later), for thus I (James) shall be a delivery mechanism of salvation, since they will be enlightened through me, by my faith and words conveyed by me through anothers (faith) that is better than mine, for I would that mine be the lesser. Endeavor earnestly, then, to make yourself like them, and pray that you may obtain a portion with them. For because like I have said, The Savior did not make these revelations to benefit us so much, but for their sakes. We do, indeed, proclaim a portion with those for whom the proclamation was made, for those whom the Father has for ordained as His elect that He has made His .

Amen!
