This document is an in-depth analysis of Luke Chapter 21 from the Bible, focusing on its spiritual and metaphysical interpretations. It covers End Times Insights and the Widow’s Faith; Jesus’ teachings about the end times, the signs to look for, the need for vigilance and prayer, and the widow’s offering. The material explores themes such as the contrast between worldly and spiritual values, the preparation for spiritual challenges, and the importance of faith in difficult times.
Luke 21:1-4
And he looked up and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, “Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.”
S As we have given, it is love, it is the intention, it is the truth of the gift, for size and value are all one. They are all relative to that which is the truth in that which is being done. Whether a nation gives a billion, or an individual gives one, has no bearing. It is the reason and faith that drives the gift to be given. For if strings are attached, it is no gift. If there is a grudge in giving, there is no gift. If you begrudge whom you give it to, there is no gift. Then make always the gift to the Lord and all of these failings fall aside. Then the size of the gift is always equal. For the perfection and the purpose are one – the glory of God.
Luke 21:5-6
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, “As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
S This is also a warning for the present-day peoples. Your societies, your nations, your rules and regulations, your devotions to that which is of the material, stand the chance of being cast down, being destroyed, so that they may be rearranged, and that life may be better for the same. So, if this comes about, regardless of the means, know in this case the means will justify the ends. For the means are of that which is not of this world but working through this world as mankind has earned and asked for. For the cleansing process is always that same. That which is of the negative must be cast down, regardless of the beauty and power and authority they represent. For there is no authority other than God, no beauty other than God, and, oh, if you were to know those two things.
Luke 21:7-9
And they asked him, saying, “Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?” And he said, “Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, ‘I am Christ’; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.”
S The key word has been misrepresented here. For the word that has been substituted is inferior. The word that should be here is rebellion or revolution. For it is the revolution and rebellion of the world that you must be aware of, and yet have no fear. For this is the cleansing process. This is the way the law operates within this realm, even as you would receive a splinter in your skin, and were it not removed it would fester itself out. So then rebellion and war, in its forms, must do the cleansing. For as we have given, if you have that which is faith and love, there is no thing that in this physical world you cannot part with and be the greater for, if called upon.
Q Can we anticipate rebellion in the near future?
S You live in a seething world of rebellion at this time, not only amongst nations, and amongst peoples, but even among your neighbors. You are approaching a time of planetary influence, and, numerologically speaking, another time coinciding, that because of the attitudes and forces of men’s minds and actions, you are bound to have disruption and unhappiness among the people of this land, this nation, and other nations as well. The volume and intensity is up to you. Therefore, pray that that which is correct from God’s viewpoint will occur, and ask God for that mercy, that He is so full of, to be used upon this world and peoples. You do not know how it hurts to watch a people, a nation, so endowed and so gifted, squander itself in selfishness when it was given such a start and such a backing by those people who did the work in the early years.
Q Is it proper to pray that God will cleanse this nation?
S Yes and no. Be wary of that when you talk, when you pray, when you think of cleansing. For look you into that which is the past where the Lord has sent that which are the cleansing forces into a nation. You, as an individual, would dislike what was going on. For being of tender heart, you could not face that which mankind has earned. Therefore, rather call for mercy, not justice, not cleansing, lest you get that which you cannot abide in or understand.
Luke 21:10-22
Then he said unto them, “Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer; For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”
S Remember signs, remember persecutions are a matter of individual interpretation as to what is going on. Remember, also, your greatest foe is yourselves. You have the opportunity of choice. Nothing is destined for the individual that cannot be undone. This is why the wheel of karma was broken. This is why the great sacrifice was made. Therefore, be of good cheer. For you hold not only your destiny within your hands, but the destinies of your brothers and your sisters. For as you act, so intensifies either that which is the negative to be overcome, or the positive that is to grow. It is never too soon or too late for the individual that works for brother, for sister. It may be too late for the individual that works for self. So be not fooled and go beyond that certain point in working upon yourself that you may be the tool. It is true, you must work upon your ways, your mind, your spiritual nature, but to become too devoted to that aspect of growth is a negative factor. Rather, become aware of the Path, work on those things that will help brother and sister. For once you are self-centered, though you may rationalize it, though you may cover it and be not aware, you have lost the Way and the Path. And remember, those that lose the Path are worse off than those who have never found the Path. Therefore, learn to evaluate – not judge, but evaluate – yourselves as to how you have acted towards that which is your spiritual plan, which in turn is that which will raise others to the Light. For remember, had not the Prince done so, the wheel would not have been broken, and you people now would be faced with the treadmill that never ends.
Luke 21:23-27
“But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people, And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”
S This is the promise. This is that which is a covenant. For regardless of what happens to the body, or the mind, or this physical plane, the Son of man will return in power, in glory, to lead those that would be led into the understanding, into those times of rethinking, rebuilding, reconstitution, that which would constitute a new world, new bodies, new thinking. For those trials that are spoken of here are not only of the physical but of the mental and spiritual natures of mankind, too. And the only woe is on those who would put their minds and bodies into those things that are not of the spiritual nature. And the consequences then will be [that] they will be separated to learn of the spiritual, while others grow through the spiritual.
Luke 21:28-36
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” And he spake to them a parable; “Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise, ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be over- charged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”
S And though none is worth, the Path is given, the promise of that which is the kingdom of God is true. You have the help of so many. You have the love and the hopes of so many. You have the opportunity that others have not had. Do not squander that which has been earned for you. You have come a long way. You still have a long ways to go. Be diligent in your prayers, your meditations, and your good works. Let love be the light and the guide each day. Pattern yourself in the example of love, of peace, of patience – the Master of Life. Find therein that which is the force, the drive, not for self-accomplishment, but for the honor and glory of God, and you will have no worry.
Q What was meant when it was said at that time that “this generation shall not pass away until all this be fulfilled”?
S In short, it is that which is, once again, alluding to that which is rebirth, or that which is the karmic wheel of coming in and reliving over and over through that which is termed reincarnation. For that generation is the generation of now, will be the generation of tomorrow, and so forth, as is necessary for the individuals or the greater group.
Q That implies that this generation will pass away at some time. Does that mean at the end of time?
S That means when the time comes that you may raise above this earth and go to greater and better things and be led then to those higher levels beyond the planes and areas near and of this earth, to the higher spiritual platforms and life.
Q What kind of work do entities do on the other side or in other planes?
S Well, a little of this, a little of that. They learn patience to a great degree, if they haven’t learned it in this plane, though this is the plane of learning patience. They work in many things as to that which is expanding knowledge within themselves, becoming aware of the faults of this plane and the faults that they have had, that hey have overcome, they have not overcome. They work on that which is companionship, understanding of the forces that work throughout the universe, within selves and how the functions of the physical selves respond to that which is the forces of the spiritual nature of things. This is one reason, you see, that mankind is getting taller in stature as the time progresses. For within themselves they know more of that which is the correct method of growth. And yet, there is that that goes with it, the compounding, you see, of other weaknesses, diseases (as you would call them) and physical drawbacks that did not exist to the greater degree in times past that you see among yourselves now.
Q Are the entities on the next plane able to help entities on this plane?
S Sometimes. However, this is interference. For there are those who would draw entities to themselves from the other side – and this is interference. For there are those who would draw entities to themselves from the other side and this is interference. Seek only through that which is the spiritual nature which draws the workers who are to do these things (which are the angelic host) working directly with the forces of God that these things may be incurred upon this plane that is better for mankind. Entities working across normally are detrimental to those they help and more detrimental to themselves, causing that which is a greater binding to the material plane than they should have.
Q This learning process on the other side – would this be through actual experiencing or through observation of what was going on with others? What would be the method?
S Entities there see, feel and understand what is going on in other worlds besides this one. They have the good old-fashioned lecture method; they also have that which you’d best understand as books, et cetera. But you see, being able to see into many planes at one time, and at the same time being tuned into that which is higher elements, higher personalities who explain, relate and subject – the entities then grow the more. But remember, what is put in can only be used as the entities progress in that which is the material. In other words, the store of knowledge and experience as gained in other realms, other levels, is an entity’s to command when they have command of the material situation and have the drive, the effort, the will, to condition themselves to progress in this manner.
Q It’s as difficult to learn to love as it is to learn patience. Is this the primary plane for learning to love?
S This is the primary plane where love of self has been learned. Therefore, it is the plane that you must learn to unlove that which you have learned to love. This is the ego. This is the cleansing of the ego. To learn to love others equally, or more than selves, is a task that is monumental in nature. But it is of this plane in overcoming (the learning, though, of which may be obtained in other places, in other times and drawn upon at this level) that the attaining may occur in the proper place, in the proper realm.

Luke 21:37-38
And in the daytime he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
S For that is the appearance for the physical-mental man, the temple; but the mount, the mount of Olives, is that which is going within, that which is the true communing with God. Therefore, just as He did, so must you do. You must appear before mankind in that in the understanding way, using the forms of the day for a forum, that you may reach out to mankind in their understanding. But then in an hour of rest, the hour of feeding of the body through the spiritual nature and cause, you must seek that which is the First Cause, the Creative Force, Love, in that which is the dark closet of self where the true Light abides, where the true Peace abides.
