CHAPTER
FOUR
THE RETURN
OF JESUS,
THE HIGH PRIEST,
AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEC
THE
return of Jesus is prophesied to come under various names and titles
besides "The High Priest." He is the return of the sacrificial
Lamb, the Lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes:
And
between the throne [a Davidic King] and the four living creatures
[the four beasts after they become Baha'i nations] and among the
elders [they are the ones that remained with the executive after
it was split from the Covenant-breaking "Hands"], I
saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain [it was Jesus
that was slain and he returns as the Lamb], with seven horns and
seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all
the earth [the eyes of the Lamb understand the prophecies of the
7 Revelations of God]; and he went and took the scroll from the
right hand of him who was seated on the throne. (Revelation 5:6,
7 RSV)
Each
king has a scepter in his right hand to show the proof of his authority.
This Davidic king who separated from the Covenant-breaking "Hands"
has a scroll, or the Book of the Covenant and Will
and Testament, as his scepter in his hand to show the proof
of his authority, but he could not reestablish this back into the
world. So the Lamb takes the scroll, or the Book of the Covenant
and Will and Testament, from the king's hand and reestablishes
this kingship back at the head of the Universal House of Justice,
starting with the second International Baha'i Council that is going
through the four stages.
And
when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the
twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp,
and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of
the saints; and they sang a new song [which are the explanations
and commentaries of the Lamb], saying, "Worthy art thou to
take the scroll and to open its seals, for thou wast slain [on
his first coming] and by thy blood didst ransom men for God from
every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and hast made them
a kingdom [Davidic] and priests [teachers] to our God, and they
shall reign on earth." (Revelation 5:8-10 RSV)
He comes
as the Knight on the white horse, as he was knighted by Shoghi Effendi.
This is prophesied in both the sixth and the nineteenth chapters
of Revelation:
Now
I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard
one of the four living creatures say, as with a voice of thunder,
"Come!" And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and its
rider had a bow [sign of the Covenant]; and a crown [the golden
halo around his head] was given to him, and he went out conquering
and to conquer [he will conquer over the evils of the Covenant-breakers].
(Revelation 6:1, 2 RSV) [1]
Then
I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! He who sat upon
it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges
and makes war [on the Covenant-breakers]. His eyes are like a
flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems [many titles];
and he has a name inscribed which no one knows but himself [the
Land]. He is clad in a robe dipped in blood.... (Revelation 19:11-13
RSV)
Baha'u'llah
referred to His Revelation as a robe. It is dipped in blood which
was the blood of 20,000 Baha'i Martyrs. Shoghi Effendi knighted
the Lamb as a Knight of Baha'u'llah; thus as a
Knight of Baha'u'llah he is establishing Baha'u'llah and His Cause
in the world:
...and
the name by which he is called is The Word of God ['Abdu'l-Baha
said that the Word of God referred to Jesus]. And the armies of
heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, followed him on
white horses. [The white horses are symbolic of the pure Revelation
of Baha'u'llah which they are establishing.] From his mouth issues
a sharp sword with which to smite the nations, and he will rule
them with a rod of iron [Jesus' rod is a rod of iron]; he will
tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty
[the fury of the wrath of God is against the Covenant-breakers
that did away with His Kingdom]. On his robe
and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, King of kings and Lord
of lords.
(Revelation 19:13-16 RSV)
Every
knight that rushes into battle has on his robe and on his chaps
the name of the king that he is championing. This knight, Dr. Leland
Jensen, a Knight of Baha'u'llah, is championing Baha'u'llah and
His administration that the Covenant-breakers abolished. He fulfills
Revelation 19:11-16, defeating all people who are in opposition
to Baha'u'llah Who is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is
the only Knight of Baha'u'llah left. All the rest have either died
off or have become fallen knights by going against Shoghi Effendi
and God.
Another
title, or diadem, by which he is called is the "seventh angel"
who is doing the same things that the Knight on the white horse
is doing. Another title by which he is called is "Blessed
is he who cometh to the thousand three hundred and
thirty-five days:"—
In
the last two verses of the Book of Daniel occur the cryptic words—"Blessed
is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and
five and thirty days. But go thy way till the end be: for thou
shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of Days [we are in
the end of days now]."
Many
have been the attempts of learned students to solve the problem
of the significance of these words. In a tabletalk at which the
writer [Esslemont] was present, 'Abdu'l-Baha reckoned the fulfillment
of Daniel's prophecy from the date of the beginning of the Muhammadan
era [the victory of Muhammad over Mecca in 628 AD—628 +
1335 = 1963].
'Abdu'l-Baha's
Tablets make it clear that this prophecy refers to the one hundredth
anniversary of the Declaration of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad, or the
year [April 21st] 1963:—
Now
concerning the verse in Daniel, the interpretation whereof thou
didst ask, namely, "Blessed is he who cometh unto the thousand,
three hundred and thirty-five days." These days must be reckoned
as solar and not lunar years. For according to this calculation
a century will have elapsed from the dawn of the Sun of Truth,
then will the teachings of God be firmly established [by Blessed
is he] upon the earth, and the Divine Light shall flood the world
from the East even unto the West. Then, on this day, will the
faithful rejoice! (J.E. Esslemont author of Baha'u'llah and
the New Era on pages 249-250 of the 1970 Edition.)
On April
21st, 1963 the return of Jesus began his ministry by being opposed
by Satan (Rex King) who was designated Satan by the Davidic King
who was 'Abdu'l-Baha's son (see exhibit one).
EXHIBIT 1
1 And he shewed me Joshua [Jesus] the high priest
standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his
right hand to resist him.
2
And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even
the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a
brand plucked out of the fire?
3
Now Joshua [Jesus] was clothed with filthy garments, and stood
before the angel [Jesus himself was not dirty, just his outer
appearance was dirty].
4
And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying,
Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said,
Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass
from thee, and I will clothe thee with a change of raiment [that
is, the image of being guilty changes to one of innocence and
purity].
5
And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set
a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. [Although
he began his ministry on April 21, 1963 he didn't know that he
was the return of Jesus at that time. Just like Jesus on his first
coming, although he was a follower of John the Baptist, he didn't
know that he was the Christ until he was baptized by John.] And
the angel of the LORD stood by.
6
And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua [Jesus], saying,
7
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and
if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house
[the Universal House of Justice], and shalt also keep my courts
[local, national and international], and I will give thee places
to walk among these that stand by.
8
Hear now, O Joshua [Jesus], the high priest, thou, and thy fellows
that sit before thee [his Twelve Apostles that are his appointed
members of the second International Baha'i Council]: for they
are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant
the BRANCH. ['Abdu'l-Baha and his descendants
seated on the throne of King David, which is the executive head
of the Universal House of Justice, as found in 'Abdu'l-Baha's
Sacred Will and Testament. The plan for this Universal
House of Justice was set up by Shoghi Effendi in four stages,
which was abolished by the Covenant-breaking Baha'is when they
went against Shoghi Effendi.]
9
For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua [Jesus]; upon
one stone shall be seven eyes:... (Zechariah 3:1-9)
This
is the stone wall surrounding the old Montana State Prison where
Jesus was incarcerated on a trumped-up charge by a very corrupt
legal system, including corrupt lawyers, corrupt prosecutors, and
corrupt judges. There were other prisoners in that prison convicted
for crimes they did not commit. Some prisoners are held in prison
for 15 or more years until it is discovered that they could not
have committed that crime, or valuable evidence was withheld by
the prosecution in order to get a verdict. When
these injustices come to light the prisoner is released, but the
state doesn't even apologize, much less reimburse him for stealing
15 or more years of his valuable life.
...Behold,
I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and
I will remove the iniquity of that [the] land [2]
in one day. (Zechariah 3:9)
The
iniquity of "the land" in the ninth paragraph is the same
iniquity of Jesus in the fourth paragraph. The meaning of the word
"iniquity" is: "Grievous violation of right or justice"
[3] by the corrupt legal system. Therefore
Jesus and "the land" are the same individual, with "the
land" being the name of the person that fulfills
the prophecies for the return of Jesus. The name of the person that
was put in prison was Leland, which is a French surname
[4] and an English given name meaning the
land. This shows that Leland is the prophesied
name of the person who is the return of Jesus the
High Priest.
Nobody
knew that Leland (the Land) was the name for the return of Jesus.
If they did, all the mothers in the world would have named their
sons "Leland." So God kept it a secret. As he was the
Knight of Baha'u'llah prophesied in the nineteenth chapter of Revelation,
this knight had a name written that only he knew:—
And
I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat
upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he
doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and
on his head were many crowns [diadems, or titles]; and he had
a name written [or inscribed], that no man knew, but he
himself. (Revelation 19:11, 12)
When
Dr. Leland was participating in Shoghi Effendi's World Crusade,
he was on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. Reunion Island was
a department of France, and French was the official language spoken
there. Therefore many of the people called him "the land,"
for "le" is the masculine word for the English word "the."
It
was Dr. Leland Jensen, a Knight of Baha'u'llah, who was put
in prison with the "stone with seven eyes" before him,
fulfilling prophecy for the name and address
(Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge, Montana) for the return of
Jesus. However, God said that He laid the "stone with seven
eyes" before Jesus—Dr. Leland Jensen. He saw that he
fulfilled the prophecies of the third chapter of Zechariah. As the
iniquity of Jesus in the fourth paragraph and the iniquity of "the
land" were the same iniquity (the dirty garment), he knew he
was the only person in the world who knew what the name for Jesus
the High Priest, on his second coming, was—"the Land,"
or Leland—for that was his name.
For
behold the stone that I [God] have laid before Joshua [Jesus];
upon one stone [5] shall be
seven eyes: behold, I [God] will engrave [to impress as if with
a graver [6]] the engravings thereof,
saith the LORD of hosts,.... (Zechariah 3:9)
Here,
God as an engraver is impressing upon us that it was He who put
Dr. Leland Jensen in prison. Why would God do a thing like that?
Well, God seems to be hard on most of His Promised Ones. For instance,
He had Moses, who was brought up in the palace of the Pharaoh and
next to sit on the throne of Egypt, exiled out into the desert for
forty years before he was to take the 12 tribes of Israel out of
bondage. God had Jesus suffer one of the most painful deaths of
crucifixion. Baha'u'llah, Who was born and raised in luxury and
was probably the richest man in the world, ended up separated from
that way of life. He suffered immense pain by being chained with
an iron collar riveted around His neck and was seated in a circle
of 150 other prisoners who also had iron collars around their necks
and were attached to each other with chains on either side. They
were all in a completely dark dungeon that was only opened to light
for a short time each day for them to be fed swill. They sat in
their own excrement. The Black Pit reeked with the odor of human
excrement. He endured this for four months. Then He was exiled for
forty years, with twenty years spent in prison in Acca, which was
one of the most foul cities in the world. The Bab was also a prisoner
and was martyred by being shot with seven hundred and fifty rifle
balls.
Why
did God have Baha'u'llah suffer these injustices? Because His mission
was to establish Justice. So He Himself had to experience injustice.
The reason Leland had to suffer injustice is that he had to know
injustice first hand, for he has to judge God's house, keep God's
courts, [7] and reestablish the Universal
House of Justice given by Baha'u'llah, delineated by 'Abdu'l-Baha
and set up by Shoghi Effendi in four stages, all of which was discarded
by the Covenant-breaking "Hands". The real reason God
put Dr. Leland Jensen in prison in Deer Lodge is to prove to the
entire world that Dr. Leland Jensen is the one who fulfills the
prophecies for the return of Jesus the High Priest. That is, he
was in the plan at the beginning.
GOD
HAD A PLAN
God
had a plan from the very beginning, six thousand years ago in 4000
BC. Everything that has happened during the last six thousand years
was in that plan. Thus Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I am."
[8] Was Jesus alive before Abraham? No!
What he was saying is that before Abraham was born, he, Jesus, was
in the plan of God. This plan was hidden behind a veil. The minor
prophets like Daniel and Isaiah where so spiritual that they could
pull the veil open and look at part of God's plan. Then they wrote
down what they saw and these became the prophecies that are found
in the Holy Scriptures. One prophet, Daniel, saw the four dates
for the coming of Jesus: 34 AD, 1844 AD, 1863 AD and 1963 AD. Other
prophets saw the names, addresses and missions
of different Promised Ones. When these Promised Ones come they point
out that they were prophesied by name, address, date and
mission to show their authenticity, for authenticity is
the criteria of believability. God purposely gave them this authenticity
so that they could carry out the mission that God entrusted them
with.
When
God placed Dr. Leland Jensen in prison, it wasn't an afterthought
on the part of God, but Leland, the return of Jesus, was in the
plan of God six thousand years ago. The purpose of this prophecy
is to show that the one that fulfills this prophecy is the return
of Jesus the High Priest. There is just one person in this world
that fulfilled this prophecy. You can be sure that Dr. Leland Jensen
didn't go down to the "stone with seven eyes" and knock
on the door and say, "Please let me in so that I can fulfill
prophecy." No. Like Baha'u'llah, he was brought there against
his will.
There
may have been other persons named Leland who might have lived in
Montana. But there is only one person named Leland who had the "stone
with seven eyes" before him. No matter which direction he turned,
the "stone with seven eyes" was before him. He began his
ministry on the date given by Daniel on April 21st,
1963, when he was opposed by Satan. He was sent to prison on a dirty
garment charge. This was to show that neither
Baha'u'llah nor any of the other Promised Ones fulfilled this prophecy,
for none of the other Promised Ones were in prison on a dirty garment
charge. None of the other Promised Ones had the "stone with
seven eyes" before them. None of them wore the dirty garment.
None of them came in 1963. None of them came in the name
of "the Land." And no other Promised One fulfilled his
mission. [9]
Who
are you going to believe? Those crackpots on Mt. Carmel that went
against God as they were in opposition to Shoghi Effendi, doing
away with the plan of God set up by Shoghi Effendi? Or are you going
to turn to the return of Jesus the High Priest after the Order of
Melchizedec, the son (Jesus) returned to establish his Father's
(Baha'u'llah's) Kingdom?—
Then
cometh the end, when he [Jesus] shall
have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father [Baha'u'llah];
when he [Jesus] shall have put down all rule and all authority
and power. For he [Jesus] must reign, till he [Jesus] hath put
all enemies [including the Covenant-breakers on Mt. Carmel] under
his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed
is [spiritual] death. For he [Jesus] hath put all things under
his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him,
it is manifest that he [Jesus] is excepted, which did put all
things under him [Jesus]. And when all things shall be subdued
unto him, then shall the Son [Jesus] also himself be subject unto
him [Baha'u'llah] that put all things under him, that God may
be all in all. (I Corinthians 15:24-28)
Leland,
the Son, hath put the lineage of David that is to exist forever
(Psalm 89) back at the head of the Universal House of Justice in
four stages as set up by Shoghi Effendi. He established the second
International Baha'i Council on January 9th, 1991, exactly forty
years to the day from when Shoghi Effendi had set up the first International
Baha'i Council, in fulfillment of prophecy. It remained embryonic
until Jesus, the authorized person, had it born into this world
as the second International Baha'i Council. It will go through the
four stages as Shoghi Effendi had planned, next becoming a World
Court. This will take place right after the nuclear war when the
four "beast nations"—England, France, United States
and Russia—become the four living creatures by becoming Baha'i
nations as prophesied in the Bible.
...and
I will remove the iniquity [10] of that
[the] land [Leland] in one day. (Zechariah 3:9)
What
day is that?—
In
that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his
neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree. (Zechariah 3:10)

Leland was the only Promised One who entered prison on August 8th
and spent his first full day in prison on August the 9th, 1969,
the date given by the Mormon prophet, George Williams. Williams
prophesied that Jesus, a descendant of the Kings of Danmark, would
come to a temple built of stone from the surrounding mountains in
Deer Lodge, Montana on August 9th, 1969. This was the day that Dr.
Leland Jensen spent his first full day with the "stone with
seven eyes" before him. See Chapter Five, THE ADVENT OF THE
CITY OF GOD, subsection: 'The Morrisites and George Williams.' [back]
