- Song of the 144,000
"Song of the 144,000" is a poem written by Joseph John (JJ) Dewey that is prominently featured in Chapter 20 of "The Immortal" [ [http://www.freeread.com/immortal/foreword.php The Immortal I] (Book One only.)] . In the novel this "song" is given to the characters of Joe and Elizabeth, by
John the Beloved as a prayer of thanks and protection. John indicates that the "Song" is intended to be spoken aloud, not sung, and that it should be "registered by the spirit within."The title--and intended purpose of the "Song of the 144,000" comes from the following biblical passage from Book of Revelation:
"And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth." Text of "Song of the 144,000"
"We thank you Father that you have revealed to us your protective universal light; that within this light is complete protection from all destructive forces; that the Holy Spirit of Your Presence permeates us in this light, and wherever we will the light to descend."
"We thank you Father that you fill us with your protective fires of Love; that within this love is complete protection from all destructive thoughts and feelings; that the consciousness of Christ is lifted up in us in this love, and wherever we will the love to be inflamed."
"We thank you Father that you are in us and we are in you; that through us Your Will is sent forth on wings of power; that Your Purpose is accomplished on earth as it is in heaven; that through us Your Light and Love and Power is manifest to all the Sons and Daughters of Mankind."
