The LOL and Builders Beware

“BUILDERS BEWARE!”–MO July 25, 1974 DFO 309B

MB: I wanted to read this letter, which was recently brought to my attention, as I feel it has a lot to do with the LOL study we are doing. The LOL, along with all the other revelations Dad and Mama received, are the bags of grain –that should be obvious to even the simplest believer. Why any of us think we have the wisdom to choose which bags should be taken out of the Endtime prophet’s church, I don’t know. And why would we want to take them out or think they shouldn’t be there? Well, your guess is as good as mine, but it must have something to do with fear and/or familiarity. I don’t really want to get into this; I just want to read this letter and be warned. There is not one bag in the Words of David that is labeled, “TO BE REMOVED AFTER HE IS GONE.” You can read what I’m about to say next for yourself in the Words of David: Our job is to preserve the Oracles of God, the Light of Israel, and to keep that fire burning. The only way to do that is to read it with a passion and not let one Word slip. Yes, just like Maria…remember, little Marias little Davids and little Jesuses.

1. I HAD THE FUNNIEST DREAM! YOU KNOW THAT CHURCH I BUILT IN ARIZONA?–I dreamed that while I was gone they decided to modernize it, so they jacked it up and put a new foundation under it and a fancy metal framework all around it and then they set it back down again and it looked real pretty!–But somehow or another by doing this they had weakened the structure instead of strengthening the building!
2. THEY HAD MODERNIZED IT AND MADE IT LOOK PRETTY, BUT IT NOW HAD A WEAKENED STRUCTURE and was beginning to lean and tip over! Everyone was running all around scared and excited and afraid it was going to fall over, and they were telling everybody to get out, it was about to collapse!–But it didn’t! It just tilted over rather precariously.
3. AND YOU KNOW WHY IT DIDN’T FALL OVER?–GUESS WHAT?–BECAUSE I HAD STORED A LOT OF BAGS OF GRAIN INSIDE of it, like we’re always telling the kids to store up food for emergencies! We’d stored up a lot of big heavy bags of dried grain, and these acted as ballast so it couldn’t tip over!
4. BUT THEY WERE STARTING TO TAKE THE BAGS OF GRAIN OUT of the building and had already carried out a few, thinking they were going to try to save them because the building was going to collapse. But I yelled, “No, no, no! That’s all that’s keeping it from tipping over! Leave those in there!”–And sure enough, that kept it from falling over!
5. THERE WAS THIS HOUSE NEXT DOOR WHERE THIS FOREIGN FAMILY LIVED. This old, old lady, grandmother of the family, was in a bedroom right next to the church, and they were yelling and screaming that she must get out, the church was going to fall over on the house and crush it! But this old grandmother refused to get out of her bedroom because she said she believed in me and had faith in my building and in God and He wasn’t going to let it fall over on her and her house! MB: At first I really couldn’t figure out where the grandmother comes into the scene we are seeing today, but the only thought I had was that I was wondering if it is supposed to represent Mama Maria. I know this may sound silly, but look at that line, “She was in a bedroom right next to the church.” Dad and Mama spent so much time in their bedroom. That is where they received so many of these bags of grain. I don’t know who’s running TFI today, but they sure fulfilled this dream. There’s a bit more about this old lady in paragraph seven.
6. IT’S LIKE WHILE I WAS GONE SOMEBODY TRIED TO RE-DO THE WHOLE BUILDING and modernise it and put a new framework around it and a new foundation under it and pretty it up, but they’d gone too far because they didn’t like the way I built it. But in doing this they weakened the whole structure, and if it hadn’t been for all that grain I’d stored in it, it would have fallen over!
7. THAT LITTLE CHURCH WAS MINE, THE ONE I’D BUILT! The rest of the foreign family they’d gotten out of the house, but the old lady stayed in because she said she had faith in me and my construction and God! And sure enough she was right: It didn’t fall! They were starting to carry all the bags of grain out of the church supposedly to save them, but I said, “No, no, no! They’re saving the church! Leave them there!”
8. SO DO YOU THINK THEY’RE GOING TO EVEN TRY TO SOMEDAY REMOVE MY WORDS from the structure?–I wouldn’t be surprised! That’s what they usually do: That’s what destroyed the Christian church, when they started removing the Bible and the words of God! They’d already carried out several bags, and I could see it was leaning over more, but I stopped them just in time, and I even made them carry the other bags back in!
9. THE OLD LADY SAID, “I’M NOT WORRIED! YOU BUILT A GOOD STRONG BUILDING AND YOU’VE GOT ALL THAT BALLAST in there, and I don t believe God is going to let it fall over, so I’m not getting out”.

11. YOU CAN GET SO BUSY TRYING TO MAKE THE BUILDING MORE ATTRACTIVE THAT YOU MAKE TOO MANY ALTERATIONS and too many basic changes so that you actually weaken the whole structure, especially when you start removing the Word! Then it really began to tip over, and if I hadn’t caught them just in time and stopped it and made them put the Word back into the building, it would have fallen over, because that’s all that saved it! MB: Who are we to think we are those chosen to take out the Words of David? No one was chosen for that job. At least I don’t find that in the original Words of David. If the Reboot letters were removed, I think the Church would tilt back the other way and would stand straight again.

14. IT WOULD BE SO SILLY IF I HAD GONE IN LIKE SOME OUTSIDER WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT CONSTRUCTION AND SAID, “NOW YOU SHOULD CHANGE THIS and put a window here and a door there and take out this wall here. we don’t need it, and we need more space here and don’t worry about this floor. The strength of the floor isn’t important! It’s how things look that matters! So knock out this wall here, so we can have a nice big picture window and make it more attractive, have more light, etc.
15. YOU CAN’T BE LIKE AN OUTSIDER WHO DOESN’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CONSTRUCTION and how much work goes into it and how every part is essential and important. You can’t make a lot of major changes and basic alterations without taking very great care that you don’t weaken the whole structure and cause it to collapse!
16. IT’S A FUNNY THING ABOUT A BUILDING: IT NEEDS ALL ITS PARTS TIED TOGETHER, because if any part of it collapses, it usually takes the whole building with it! If the roof gives in or one wall collapses or one pillar goes down, it often takes the whole thing with it!
17. WHEN SAMSON PUSHED THOSE TWO PILLARS APART IN THE TEMPLE OF DAGON (Judges 16) he dislodged them and it brought down the whole temple! The Temple of Dagon represented the System and stood only by the permission of God and the obedience of man. As long as the Philistines left God’s people alone and fulfilled their place in the world as traders and artisans and businessmen, God was using them in a way to help, protect and provide for Israel.

19. BUT WHEN THE PROPHET OF GOD CAME ALONG, whom they mistreated, Samson, with his power and strength, demonstrated that the System was no longer obeying God, one of the pillars on which it stood–man’s obedience. Therefore it would no longer have God’s permission to exist–the other pillar!
20. THE EXISTENCE OF ANY SYSTEM IN THE WORLD DEPENDS BOTH ON THE WILL OF GOD AND THE WILL OF MAN. When you combine these two together and they’re parallel, both going the same direction, if not actually one pillar at least they’re two parallel pillars–the building can stand strong.
21. BUT IF YOU START PUSHING AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD AND DISLOCATE FROM IT THE WILL OF MAN so they’re no longer parallel and no longer working together, you can dislodge the equilibrium of the whole building and bring the whole thing down around your ears!–Which is what Samson demonstrated! I never thought of that before as an illustration, but I just now saw that picture so clearly!
22. ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS PUSH THOSE TWO PILLARS APART! He was actually showing in literal illustration what was causing the house of the Philistines to fall, because the will of man was getting out of line with the Will of God! Just as clearly the still small voice of God answered me when I asked what those two pillars represented: “The Will of God and the will of man!”
23. THE WHOLE STRUCTURE OF ANY HOUSE OR ANY GOVERNMENT OR ORGANIZATION OR RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT RESTS ON THESE TWO KEY CENTRAL PILLARS: THE WILL OF GOD AND THE WILL OF MAN. As long as they coordinate and cooperate and are in line with each other, working parallel at least, and in the right position, solidly on the right foundation and fastened securely, doing their duty and working together to uphold the structure, it will stand firm.
24. BUT IF THEY GET THE LEAST BIT OUT OF LINE WITH EACH OTHER and begin to be at cross purposes with each other, watch out! There’s going to be trouble! The Prophet of God came along and demonstrated it didn’t take much to destroy the whole building! To manifest it and illustrate it to the Philistines, he gave them a visible illustration of what was happening to their own kingdom: They were getting out of line, out of tune and out of touch with God in persecuting and making war on His children and mistreating His prophets. MB: Surely the End has come. The prophet’s words have been taken out of the house with the burning of the books, and now the time of Jesus’ return is upon us. That covenant was broken in almost tandem, parallel with the World and the AC breaking their covenant. If you put your name to either one, the building will fall down upon your heads.
25. SO THE REMOVAL OF THOSE TWO PILLARS BROUGHT THE WHOLE HOUSE DOWN and slaughtered thousands of Philistines with it, including the poor Prophet, who in this case had to go down with the building because he was in it and he was their prisoner! So, as so often happens, the innocent sometimes have to suffer with the guilty!– MB: Well this can only mean Dad as the prisoner, or Mama is a secret believer still… who knows. I told you; this would seem silly.

27. SO OFTEN THE WORLDS’ SAVIORS HAVE TO GO DOWN WITH THE BUILDING LIKE THE CAPTAIN WITH HIS SHIP, still trying to rescue people and save others! As the enemies taunted Jesus Himself, “Ha!–He saved others, but He can’t even save Himself!”–And that was true! He had to die for His warnings and attempts to save them! But His enemies also were soon to die and go down with their system which collapsed around their ears a few years later because they didn’t listen!

37. THE SAME IS TRUE IN THE CASE OF RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS and movements, religions, so-called: Once the Prophet has been removed and is far away either in time or space, those left behind in charge often, if not usually, soon seem to go astray and try to revamp the building so carefully put together by the Prophet with the words of God.
38. BUT IN THEIR ALTERATIONS AND ATTEMPTS TO MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE AND MODERNIZE IT, THEY UNWITTINGLY WEAKEN IT so that it begins to topple, particularly when they start removing the original words and writings and scriptures which God had given through His Prophets, which are the only ballast able to keep it stable.
39. SO NEARLY EVERY RELIGIOUS SYSTEM THAT I CAN THINK OF EVENTUALLY DRIFTED SO FAR from the original teachings of its founder and his foundation, that the religion and its founder no longer even resembled each other, its people no longer resembled their original leadership, and the religion no longer resembled his original teachings!
40. EACH HAS BECOME SUCH A TOTALLY CHANGED STRUCTURE THAT SOMETIMES IT NO LONGER EVEN LOOKS LIKE THE ORIGINAL BUILDING! Each is eventually so weakened by the removal of its founder’s words, its last hope and ballast for retaining its balance, that it collapses around the ears of its alterers!–It dies of alterations!

42. IT’S A FUNNY THING THAT WE USE THIS EXPRESSION, “THE WHOLE HOUSE CAME TUMBLING DOWN AROUND THEIR EARS!” Because it is when your ears stop listening to the Lord that your house collapses on top of them!
43. SO “BUILDERS BEWARE!” THAT BY YOUR SO-CALLED “IMPROVEMENTS” YOU DO NOT DESTROY THE VERY THING YOU’RE ATTEMPTING TO BUILD! ABOVE ALL, DO NOT REMOVE THE BALLAST, THE WORDS OF GOD, your only hope of its salvation, the only thing that will keep it steady and on His firm foundation of His teachings and His writings! This is all that will help the house keep its equilibrium. MB: And that is what has happened; the present building does not resemble the former. But this time there is no more time, for we are not dealing with any old denomination here. David was the Endtime prophet and the Words of David are the Words to the last generation. So builders beware, the building, the whole building, system and all, is about to collapse.

47. BUT IN MY DREAM I SAW THAT AFTER I HAD LEFT AND WAS FAR AWAY THOSE I HAD LEFT BEHIND AND OTHERS WERE SERIOUSLY CHANGING ITS OLD STRUCTURE, so that it barely resembled the original building and was becoming gravely weakened and beginning to totter dangerously, as they were even removing the balancing ballast of His precious Words!
48. BUT I RETURNED AND STOPPED THEM JUST IN TIME TO SAVE IT and made them replace the bags of grain-words they’d already removed! We put them back in just in time to make the building settle back down on its firm Foundation, Christ Jesus! “For what other foundation can any man lay than this?” MB: And Dad has come back, with the Cathars, to help us get those bags back into the building. So don’t go playing around with the bags, folks. Those bags have to be still in place at the return of the King. As for that “old lady” well your guess is as good as mine. I’m just trying to give the benefit of the doubt.
