Mantle # 4
(Continued from the Angel Section.)
Suddenly, the angels turned the robe inside out – there displaying another garment entirely. The Father’s mantle was double. This side was a drab camel skin – probably as John the Baptist wore in the desert.
I was helped into the double mantle. This drab cloak completely covered everything I was wearing. The cloak left me looking like a wandering vagrant. (It is funny what you think about in times like these. I found myself grateful that the skins did not smell like goat.)
At first, I thought it strange that the ruler of the universe would wear such a drab garment. Then it came to me that our Heavenly Father was as Jesus showed Him to be – humble. Of course – of course, I understood not only the reason for wearing it but also, I understood more about my Heavenly Father’s character. This revelation made me even more grateful to be allowed to wear the mantle – honored and blessed really. Our glorious Father was humble and if I wished to draw near to Him, how desperately did I need to put on the humility of Christ.
I asked the Father: “Are those marquee lights still going?”
“Yes,” He answered with a chuckle, “the bulbs are still giving light. The marquees are rolling. Yet they are but a picture of the true light within. The outside now looks like camel’s hair. Study to see who was thus dressed.
