Boðberi
Guðspjallamaður. Sá sem fer á undan englunum og flytur fólki jarðarinnar fagnaðarerindið um Jesú Kristi og, á tilteknum tíma, hið eilífa fagnaðarerindi.[1] Helgivaldið smyr boðbera Stóra hvíta bræðralagsins sem postula þeirra (þá sem „sendir eru í trúboð“). Þeir flytja með fyrirlestrum (spádóma) uppstignu meistaranna vitnisburði og týndar kenningar Jesú Krists í krafti heilags anda til sæðis Krists, hinna týndu sauði úr húsi Ísraels, Matt. 10:6; 15:24.</ref>og til hverrar þjóðar. Boðberi er sá sem er þjálfaður af uppstignum meistara til að taka á móti orðum, hugtökum, kenningum og boðskap Hvíta bræðralagsins með ýmsum aðferðum; sá sem flytur lögmálið, spádómana og ívilnanir og blessanri Guðs til lýðs og aldar.
Boðberar í gegnum tíðina
Guð hefur alltaf haft boðbera sína. Eftirfarandi eru nokkur dæmi:
Mark L. Prophet, nú hinn upptigni meistari Lanelló, var kallaður af El Morya árið 1958 til að stofna The Summit Lighthouse (Ljós-vitann á tindinum) og setja fram kenningar hinna upprignu meistara fyrir vatnsberaöldina. Mark var einnig boðberi á fyrri æviskeiðum. Sem spámaðurinn Nói, fékk hann spádóminn um flóðið og áminnti og hvatti fólkið í meira en hundrað ár. Sem egypski faraóinn Ikhnaton, boðberi Atóns (sólguðsins), innleiddi hann eingyðistrú. Mark starfaði einnig sem boðberi bræðralagsins í hlutverki bandaríska lárviðarskáldsins Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The messengers Guy and Edna Ballard, now the ascended masters Godfre and Lotus, founded the I AM Activity in the early 1930s under the direction of Saint Germain. They served as his messengers, delivering the ascended masters’ dictations throughout the United States. In the fifteenth century, Lotus was embodied as Joan of Arc, God’s messenger who delivered the directions of Archangel Michael to the French army and thereby saved France.
Mary Baker Eddy, who founded the Christian Science movement in the late 1800s, was tutored by Jesus, Mother Mary and the apostle Paul. Now the ascended lady master Theosophia, she holds the office of the Goddess of Wisdom
Messengers of Jesus Christ have included the apostle Paul, John the Beloved and Saint Teresa of Avila. The apostle Paul is now the ascended master Hilarion. In his final incarnation he was Saint Hilarion, whom Jesus used as his instrument to heal the multitudes. John the Beloved, “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” received the dictation of the Book of Revelation from the ascended Jesus. Saint Teresa of Avila, sixteenth-century reformer of the Carmelite order in Spain, often communed with Jesus. He once told her, “Don’t neglect to write down what I say.... I shall give you a living book.” She is now the ascended lady master Kristine.
Jesus Christ was himself a messenger. In his Galilean embodiment, he delivered the words of Lord Maitreya, whom he referred to as “Father.” He had previously served as a messenger in his embodiments as the prophet Joshua and the prophet Elisha. As Elisha, he received the mantle of the prophet Elijah.
Elijah ascended to God in a chariot of fire. As prophesied by Malachi, he returned to earth to go before Jesus as John the Baptist. Thus, as both Elijah and John the Baptist, he served as God’s messenger.
The prophet Samuel, the last of the judges of Israel, received his calling as a messenger when he was a child. Through Samuel, God anointed David as king of Israel. Samuel is now the ascended master Saint Germain.
The prophet Moses, the messenger of the I AM THAT I AM, was called to deliver the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt. Exodus records: “The LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.” He is now the ascended master Lord Ling.
The coming of Moses was prophesied 13,000 years ago by Ernon, Rai of Suern, a messenger of God at the time of Atlantis. His subjects, the Suernis, rebelled against his discipline, and Ernon warned that they would have to wait some ninety centuries for their next messenger, “him who shall be called Moses.” The Suernis reincarnated as the Israelites, among the seed of Abraham.
The patriarch Abraham, “father of many nations,” was called the Friend of God. The LORD God called Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldees and promised him “I will make of thee a great nation.” Abraham is now the ascended master El Morya.
Abraham tithed to Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God. Melchizedek was the messenger of God described in Hebrews as being “without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life but made like unto the Son of God.”[2]
The patriarch Enoch, who “walked with God,” was the messenger of Sanat Kumara, the Ancient of Days, spoken of in the Book of Daniel. In the Book of Enoch, Enoch records the revelations of Sanat Kumara on the true nature and deeds of the fallen angels.
The preacher Ecclesiastes was in the lineage of the messengers of God. He was a soul from Venus who embodied to teach mankind.
Lord Gautama Buddha, another messenger of Sanat Kumara, founded Buddhism in the sixth century B.C. For forty-five years, he preached throughout India, spreading his doctrine of the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path and the Middle Way.
Zarathustra, messenger of Ahura Mazda, founded Zoroastrianism in ancient Persia.
Hermes Trismegistus, ancient Egyptian sage, was called the “scribe of the gods.” He is now the ascended master God Mercury, whom El Morya has called “the archetype of the messenger of the gods.”
The first messenger of God that you know is your own Holy Christ Self. Your Holy Christ Self brings you the message of your mighty I AM Presence—if you have ears to hear and a heart that is inclined to Truth.
Nicholas Roerich and Helena Roerich were messengers of El Morya early in the twentieth century.
