Mandate of Heaven

Following from the JADE message received in May. [1] And the recent case of Amy Jade Winehouse, I have been led back to the JADE again. There is a huge historical story about the JADE in Ancient China. He Shi Bi means 'Jade Disc of He'. A jade disc that became the Imperial Seal of China. Various sayings were a result of the stories related to the Jade. They include: "Valued at multiple cities'. "Returning something to its rightful owner'. Having received the 'mandate from heaven' may the emperor lead a long and prosperous life. The JADE seal was to be passed on even as the dynasties rose and fell.

The 'Mandate of Heaven' was part of the legitimacy of rulers and the mandate was predicated on the conduct of the person in question. The 'Mandate of Heaven', was a blessing of the authority of a just ruler. Chinese rulers were considered to be 'god-like' rulers sent from heaven.

The 'Mandate of Heaven' was not dependent on noble birth and dynasties were also founded upon people from modest upbringing.  In the Chinese philosophy, only one ruler was allowed at a time. The mandate had no time limitation, the timing depended on the ability of the person to be just and fair to the people.

The Ancient Chinese viewed that poverty, natural disasters, floods and famine, was a sign of divine disapproval of an existing emperor, and that China was being ruled by injustice and tyranny, as such the ruler must be replaced.

It is written that the Mandate of Heaven, held rulers to a clear standard, it was heaven itself that was the measure of social justice. They also had a 'Book of Records' called 'Shu Jing'.



The Mandate of Heaven was based on four leading ideas:

1. The right to rule China is granted by Heaven.
2. There can be only one legitimate ruler of China.
3. The right to rule is based on the virtue of the ruler and his good performance as a steward for Heaven.
4. The right to rule may be passed down from father to son, but only on the conditions established above. Once the Mandate is lost, the will of Heaven towards a successor will only be known by the working out of the imponderable force of events in human history.

These four leading ideas have important implications:

1. Legitimization of the ruling house in the eyes of the people who come under its sway.
2. Times of divided rule require some rationalization after the fact to establish which ruler can claim truly to have the Mandate.
3. The rulers put checks on their own behavior, and are encouraged to invest in the well-being of their subjects.
4. The rulers necessarily fear rebellion, possibly because they believe in active intervention from Heaven, and/or possibly because they know that misbehavior will give positive sanction to attempts by others to overthrow them.

It is worth reviewing how the East Asian countries were influenced by the Ancient Chinese, and their philosophy at that time, how it as continued in countries like Libya. However, the mandate of heaven approved of the overthrow of unjust rulers, and when they were overthrown by the people, it signified that their mandate had passed. It is clear that the right of rebellion by the people has existed since ancient times. It also signified the end of a dynasty, one could say the same about Egypt. The uprising and the success of it, was predicted biblically for this timeline as the LORD's testimony for Joseph.

It is written that European theologians also supported the 'Mandate of Heaven' in preference to the divine right of the European type Kings. In fact, Elizabeth I, believed that she had a mandate of heaven to serve her people.

Prophet Ezekiel spoke of the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. Apostle John also spoke of the 'seal of approval'. In Romans, the 'seal of righteousness' is given to the uncircumcised. There is also the seal of the apostles, of ownership and redemption. The book of Revelation asks who is worthy to break the seals? I have seen Christians state that they have been sealed. However, I have not seen one come forward to explain it. Is that because they know, that I know exactly what the seal is, how and when it is given?

In my divine experience, the seal pre-dates Christianity and can be found in Buddhism. There are many rooms in my Father's mansion and many wonderful divine realities. Do the Christians understand the Buddhist reality that goes back at least 5,000 years? How the routes crossed, like a fly over? Like a bridge over troubled water? If people are not prepared to surrender all belief, and allow the divine to show them different realities, then they cannot travel anywhere on the journey. If people do not take the journey, then they can never truly understand the bible, and its teachings that encompass, spiritual realities from different cultures.

Taking all of this into account, based upon the mandate of heaven, I will say that the existing dynasty of the elite, as been shown by the LORD God, that their rule is truly over. When the mandate of heaven was given for the children in 2007, that was the beginning of the end. As Nostradamus predicted there will be a new rule for 7,000 years and it certainly will not be China, the USA or any other
superpower that runs the military machine.

The new mandate of heaven is a spiritual mandate of independence and peace, it will be interesting to watch it unfold in the nations, as the divine plan of
the LORD God, comes to fruition in this Aquarian Age.
