"Simplify. There is too much clutter and confusion. Simplify. Or you will never find
your way home. Church days that honor traits or characteristics of the Divine
Persons or of the saints serve to honor, to remind My children. Celebrating the
journey home to the Father, consecrating yourselves to the Father must be the
high point of the church year. All must point to this high feast. All else supports
and illuminates this most sacred feast. Now enter your dialogues, daughter, and
you will be surprised at what you see. All has been leading up to this."

June 22, l998, Evening:
Dearest Papa:
Barbara:
Yes, Father.
I am here. I am with you. Daughter, you ask me questions regarding My feast
day. What does a feast celebrate? What is its function? Why do My children
have feasts? Why have I asked for them?
A feast is just that—a feast. A feast is a time at which people come together
to share food and conversation. They enjoy each other’s company. In the Old
Testament era, I requested eight day feasts so that My children could know,
love, and honor Me. It was a time of celebration and joy. It was a reunion—a
family reunion. How sad, daughter, that this specific function is overlooked.
Can a family have a reunion in one hour on one Sunday? Can children truly
know, love, and honor their Father in one hour on one Sunday? Surely not. And
you cannot argue that the entire year is full of feasting and celebration—a
continual reunion of God’s family. This is not so.

Father, are you telling me that these three octaves form the foundation of
the Church? All three involve the three Persons. Each one highlights one
Person?

Simplify. There is too much clutter and confusion. Simplify. Or you will never find
your way home. Church days that honor traits or characteristics of the Divine
Persons or of the saints serve to honor, to remind My children. Celebrating the
journey home to the Father, consecrating yourselves to the Father must be the
high point of the church year. All must point to this high feast. All else supports
and illuminates this most sacred feast. Now enter your dialogues, daughter, and
you will be surprised at what you see. All has been leading up to this.
Ageus:15—[First of post-exile prophets; temple restoration; little progress on ru-
ined temple; few numbers; lack of resources; hostility of neighbors; Ageus rebukes
the people for long neglect of Yahweh’s sanctuary; exhortations worked and the
temple was restored in five years; Ageus wanted to get temple ready so Yahweh
would return; usher in Kingdom of God; threat to religious life in neglecting ruined
temple; once the work of setting stone on stone is undertaken, Yahweh’s blessing
is assured; it is not David who will build a house (temple) for Yahweh, but Yahweh
who will build a house for David.
