Вознесенный Владыка Иоанн Креститель имел два воплощения, о которых есть упоминание в Библии: пророк Илия — в Ветхом Завете и Иоанн Креститель – в Новом Завете. Сам Иисус провозгласил, что Иоанн Креститель есть «Илия, которому должно придти».[1]
Илия и Елисей
История об Илии Фесвитянине и его ученике Елисее (одно из предыдущих воплощений Иисуса) запечатлена в «Книге Царств», где вознесение Илии описывается следующим образом: «...Вдруг явилась колесница огненная и кони огненные, и разлучили их обоих, и понесся Илия в вихре на небо».[2]
У видев вознесение своего учителя, Елисей «поднял милоть [мантию] Илии, упавшую с него», и ударил по водам Иордана. Когда воды расступились и Елисей перешел, сыны пророков увидели, что «опочил дух Илии на Елисее». С того времени Елисей сотворил множество чудес — алхимических подвигов, предвещавших победу его Духа над материей в его последнем воплощении Иисусом. Истории о Елисее, сделавшем воды здоровыми, приумножившем масло вдовы, благословившем Сонамитянку на рождение ребенка, а позднее воскресившем ее сына из мертвых, приумножившем ячменные хлебцы и излечившем Неемана от проказы, записаны в «Четвертой Книге Царств» вместе с другими примерами действия Закона, явленными этим «человеком Божьим».
Иоанн Креститель
After his ascension, Elijah received the almost unique dispensation that enabled him to reembody; and so he came again as John the Baptist to “prepare the way of the Lord.” He willingly took on a flesh form and allowed himself to be sacrificed at the hand of Herod, in order to assist his disciple to fulfill his mission.
The relationship of Jesus and John the Baptist is a story of great devotion, love and respect—beautiful to behold and seldom equaled. It is the story of the guru-chela, master-disciple relationship. Being the great and humble teacher that he was, John said of Jesus, “He must increase, but I must decrease”[3]; for he bore in his heart the great God-desire that Jesus should exceed him in attainment and in service. He wanted to remain in the background, to see the glory—the full mantle of his ascended consciousness—upon Jesus. After his lifetime as John the Baptist, he returned to the ascended state.
His service today
The ascended master John the Baptist says:
There must be a meeting ground for heaven and earth, and that is the place of the heart. Your heart is the receiver of God, of Christed ones; and the womb of the Divine Mother is the recipient of the seed of Alpha for the birth of the Divine Manchild. Therefore, as Christed ones, welcome the King of kings and Lord of lords into your heart! As flames of the Divine Mother, cherish the incarnation of the Christ!
It is the materialization of the God flame that we pursue to make earth a haven of light that all mankind might know the kingdom of God within and without, the conformity of sacred law.[4]
