Leland Jensen

Dr. Leland Jensen ~Establisher of the Baha'i Faith~

All of the religions have had an establisher. Adam had Enoch, Jesus had Paul, Moses had Joshua, and today Baha'u'llah's establisher is a modern day Joshua. The purpose of establishers is to establish the revelation of the Prophet into the world. This is why 2/3's of the New Testament is written by Paul, because he established Jesus' Revelation in the world by teaching it to the Gentiles. Another purpose for the establisher is the violation of the Covenant. What happened after the passing of Shoghi Effendi was a violation of the Covenant. It was in the plan of God all along to send the establisher to set things back on track and re-establish the Davidic Kingship into the Universal House of Justice. Just as the Manifestations are prophesied by name, address, date, and mission; in this Revelation the establisher is prophesied by the same golden criteria, which is the measuring rod to determine if a person has been sent by God or not. That is, the Promised One is prophesied by the name that He's going to come in, the address at which He's supposed to appear, the date that He's supposed to arrive, and what He's going to do when He gets here. These are the four factors you find on a calling card or a business card, and only one person in the world fulfills the criteria given in the Bible for the coming of the Promised One.

For instance, there was only one person prophesied by the name Jesus that was born in Bethlehem, that came at the date given by Daniel, and that atoned for sin by dying on the cross. These prophecies will never be fulfilled again by anybody else. The establisher of the Baha'i Faith also fulfills prophecy in the same manner. `Abdu'l-Baha spoke of the coming of the establisher in Some Answered Questions in his commentary on the eleventh chapter of the Revelation of St. John. This was written in 1906:

"The seventh angel is a man qualified with heavenly attributes, who will arise with heavenly qualities and character. Voices will be raised, so that the appearance of the Divine Manifestation will be proclaimed and diffused. In the day of the manifestation of the Lord of Hosts, and at the epoch of the divine cycle of the Omnipotent which is promised and mentioned in all the books and writings of the Prophets - in that day of God, the Spiritual and Divine Kingdom will be established, and the world will be renewed; a new spirit will be breathed into the body of creation; the season of the divine spring will come; the clouds of mercy will rain; the sun of reality will shine; the life-giving breeze will blow; the world of humanity will wear a new garment; the surface of the earth will be a sublime paradise; mankind will be educated; wars, disputes, quarrels and malignity will disappear; and truthfulness, righteousness, peace and the worship of God will appear; union, love and brotherhood will surround the world; and God will rule for evermore - meaning that the Spiritual and Everlasting Kingdom will be established. Such is the day of God." (Pages: 56-57)

The definition of the word 'angel' is a "messenger, harbinger," it is the job of the Seventh Angel to establish the Kingdom by re-establishing the Covenant. Abdu'l-Baha says that the seventh angel "is a man", so he is speaking of a man that is going to come with a message. This is a prophecy for a man that "will arise" to establish the Kingdom of God on Earth. This man is Dr. Leland Jensen, Knight of Baha'u'llah, who is the Establisher of Baha'u'llah's Revelation.

Dr. Leland Jensen, was born August 22, 1914; a third generation Baha'i on his mothers side. He is a descendant of the Tribe of Dan through both parents whose names were Christ Jensen and Daisy Dell Petersen. Christ's father, Neils, was a blacksmith in Denmark; this job was reserved to royalty because the blacksmith also acted as Justice of the Peace, this job was related to the kingship. His father was descended from the Kings of Denmark who were descendants of tribe of Dan who act as judge. Israel was composed of the descendants of the twelve sons of Jacob whose name was changed to Israel (Genesis 33:28). Before he passed on, he gave to each of his sons a blessing. The blessing he gave to Dan is recorded Genesis 49:16: "Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel." The symbol of the tribe of Dan is the Seraphim, the flaming serpent with wings, which is symbolic of the spiritual intellect. The intellect that is not spiritual is depicted as a serpent crawling on the ground. When Shalemancer V conquered Jerusalem in 721 BC, the tribes were taken captive, and the Dan's were scattered. They migrated to Denmark and everywhere they went they left their mark, (i.e. Danube River, Dansmark, etc...) When Christ was 4 years old, his parents, Neils and Agnes, migrated to America from Denmark.

Dr. Jensen's parents were among the first Baha'is in America and they were very well studied in the Baha'i Faith. They had read the books and were busy teaching the Cause to other people. Being brought up in a Baha'i home, Dr. Jensen would listen to his father and mother talk about the Baha'i Faith to people that came to the door and to those they met in the marketplace. They held firesides in the home, and he had the experience of hearing his parents teach the Faith. He attended the Baha'i firesides of other people as well as going to Baha'i Centers where they had speakers once a week that would come and give public lectures.

His parents met 'Abdu'l-Baha when He traveled to the America's in 1912. Abdu'l-Baha anointed Doc's mother with Adder of Rose, which is an Extract of Roses. When Abdu'l-Baha ascended in 1921, many did not want to accept His successor, Shoghi Effendi. Dr. Jensen was seven years old at this time and was in the Baha'i Center where he saw Don Balotti pounding on the piano. He asked his father why Don was pounding on the piano and his father told him that Don was going against the Guardian (Don did not want to accept Shoghi Effendi and was therefore breaking the Covenant.) This made a lasting impression on Dr. Jensen and he made an oath never to go against the Guardian.

At an early age, he began teaching the Baha'i Faith to his friends. When he got older, he became more proficient, and was able to bring several of these young people into the Faith. Later on, after he got married, he and his wife, Opal, finished college and got their doctorates in natural medicine and became Chiropractic Doctors. They attended the School of Drugless Physicians and graduated in 1944. Opal was the valedictorian and Dr. Jensen graduated with distinction (cum laude). They didn't have much time for teaching then because they both had to work since they had worked their way through school. But after they graduated, after practicing for a while, they moved to St. Louis, into a mansion, and they moved the Baha'i Center into their home because it was very large. Again, they were back to teaching the Faith. Shoghi Effendi had two seven year plans for bringing the Faith to the peoples of this world, and he had a three year period in between the two seven year plans. In 1951, he set up the first International Baha'i Council, which he planned to effloresce into the Universal House of Justice. He wanted to bring the Faith to the remaining people of the world so instead of making another seven year plan with a three year period in between it, in 1953 he had a ten year crusade. This plan of Shoghi Effendi was carrying out 'Abdu'l-Baha's injunction called "'Abdu'l-Baha's Divine plan" for bringing the Faith to the world. Dr. Jensen and his wife participated in this ten-year world crusade. They gave up their practice and their livelihood and went to two tiny islands in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar. The first island was called Reunion. The people of this island had never heard of the Baha'i Faith, Leland and Opal were the first ones to take them the Message. It was a French-owned island, which practiced Catholicism as the State Religion.

When Doc told the French speaking people his name - they would say your name means "the Land." In a short time, they had taught 25-30 people and raised up a Baha'i Community. At this time, 150 people were knighted by Shoghi Effendi as Knights of Baha'u'llah. Leland and Opal received this honor for their successful teaching.

They then went to Mauritius Island. Ottely Ryan had gone to this island before and she'd brought two people into the Faith there in a period of about two or three years. One was a Chinese boy and the other was a person vacationing from France. But she wasn't able to contact the mass of the people on the island, that is, the Creole, the Hindu, and the Muslim, which were the predominate people there. So when Leland and Opal went to the island, they made contact and got into the mass of the people in a short time. They were there only fourteen months and had over a hundred and fifty people come into the Faith, very well educated and deepened in the Cause.

Shoghi Effendi was establishing the Baha'i Administration at this time, which is the courts of the Kingdom of God, brought by Baha'u'llah. This includes Local and National Spiritual Assemblies. When there are nine believers in an area, they form a local council, which were then called Local Spiritual Assemblies. Leland had established Local Spiritual assemblies on Reunion and Mauritius Islands and was called to Africa to be a delegate to represent Mauritius Island. At this convention, they would elect the Regional National Spiritual Assembly.

While Dr. Jensen was away, two men named Ferrie and Theodore, who were brought into the Faith by a traveling salesman, Shiani, before Leland and Opal arrived, started to cause trouble among the Baha'is. Shiani had told them that they were the 'pillars' because they were the only active believers at that time. Ferrie and Theodore started trying to take over the Faith and were calling Shoghi Effendi a pimp. They were telling everyone that they were the 'Pillars' and that everyone should turn to them. Dr. Jensen returned from Africa and found everything in an uproar. He immediately contacted the Regional National Spiritual Assembly to advise them of the situation and set up another council to put an end to their covenant-breaking (they were going against Shoghi Effendi.) The assembly sent John Robards, who later became a hand, to check on the community. He was intercepted by Ferrie and Theodore who 'wined and dined' him, which consequently caused him to file a false report that Doc and Opal were the ones causing the split in the Faith. Doc wrote a letter to Shoghi Effendi explaining the situation. Shoghi Effendi sent Bill Sears to Mauritius. He approached Dr. Jensen and Opal with "tears as big as crocodile turds" with an apology. At this time, Dr. Jensen realized that there was corruption in the Baha'i Faith and that it went all the way at the top of the Faith. He and Opal decided it was time to return to America.

After they were in America, Shoghi Effendi started sending special messages to the Baha'is in the United States. He called for conferences to be held to which he sent messages. Large numbers of people attended these conferences. There wasn't just one, there were maybe two, three or four. The messages were very condemning of what the National Spiritual Assembly and what the Hands of the Faith were doing here in America and throughout the world. He was primarily attacking the American headquarters. These messages weren't printed and sent around, you had to attend the conferences to hear them. Leland and Opal attended these conferences.

They were disenchanted with the way the turn the Faith was taking in America so they decided to go to raise up another community. This time they decided to go to Paraguay in South America. They set out in November of 1957 and got as far as El Paso, Texas when they fell sick with the Asiatic Flu. They were naturopathic physicians so they got a hotel room and healed themselves. When they were better, they looked in the telephone book to see if there were any Baha'is in the El Paso area. They contacted one who was the secretary, and asked her if there were any Baha'i firesides or meetings, and she said they were having a very important meeting that night.

At the meeting, they showed Leland and Opal three cablegrams, which were sent out by Ruhiyyih Khanum. The first one said that Shoghi Effendi is sick (but he was really dead as shown by death certificate.) The second cablegram read that Shoghi Effendi is dead. The third stated that the hands were to meet to decide what to do (they were suppose to turn to Shoghi Effendi's son, the IBC.) Dr. Jensen started to say that this was all wrong when Opal ribbed him and told him to be quiet. Then they read other cablegrams that said that the Hands of the Faith had met and they declared that God had broken His Covenant; that the guardianship had come to an end. They said that Shoghi Effendi didn't have a son and that he left no will. But according to the Will and Testament if he doesn't have a son he has to appoint another branch, an Aghsan—'Abdu'l-Baha's son. The Will and Testament doesn't say he has to appoint him in a will, it says he has to do it in his lifetime. Shoghi Effendi had already appointed the International Baha'i Council with 'Abdu'l-Baha's son, Mason Remey, to be his successor six years before he ascended. According to The Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha, President of the Council must be a son and be appointed by the previous guardian.

Shoghi Effendi died of the Asiatic flu; the same Asiatic flu that Opal and Leland were sick with only he had passed on. At this time, the Hands took over the Baha'i Faith.

For two years, the Faith was in an uproar, the Hands even forbid discussion regarding the Guardianship. Mason Remey went along with the corrupt Hands at first. He said, "If you will follow everything that Shoghi Effendi laid out for 1963, I'll go along with you." What Shoghi Effendi had proposed for 1963 was that the International Baha'i Council that Mason Remey was the President of would become a World Court. Then Shoghi Effendi said the body would be elected, he didn't say the head, just the body. He also said that this International Baha'i Council that would become a World Court would evolve or blossom into the Universal House of Justice. Shoghi Effendi passed away in 1957. In 1959, the Hands had a conclave, and they decided to do away with Shoghi Effendi's International Baha'i Council. Instead of it becoming a World Court in 1963 they said they would pass by that phase of it and they would jump to the conclusion and establish a Universal House of Justice without a guardian.

Dr. Jensen refused to obey the corrupt Hands and he continued to teach firesides on the Covenant, starting with the first page of the Bible. It was very apparent to all who attended these firesides that there must be a Guardian of the Baha'i Faith. Mason Remey broke with the Hands in 1959 after they decided to break the provisions that Shoghi Effendi had laid out for them, that they had agreed follow—they broke their trust with the guardian. After Mason broke with the Hands, he came to America and he proclaimed to the Baha'i world here that indeed he was the guardian appointed by Shoghi Effendi.

Dr. Jensen traveled to Washington D.C. to meet Mason Remey. Mason said he'd gone along with the Hands, hoping to persuade them not to break the Covenant as they were. At this time, Dr. Jensen became very close with and knowledgeable of the guardian Mason Remey. He explained the whole Covenant-breaking deal that was going on for that two years between the time Shoghi Effendi died and the time Mason Remey departed from Mt. Carmel.

The hands of the Faith were busy getting control of the Baha'i Faith, dipping their hands into the funds and taking over the institutions and the membership of the Faith to get control of it. Mason Remey said that they didn't want to have a guardian. This was true especially of the Persian Baha'is—they never wanted the guardian in the first place. The Hands of the Faith particularly didn't want a guardian because Shoghi Effendi was a hard taskmaster, and they wanted to have the more laissez-faire, easy life.

So they put out the baloney that Shoghi Effendi gave us all the guidance we need for the next thousand years until the next Manifestation—we don't need a guardian because we have his writings. They had his writings, but what's the use of having his writings if they wouldn't even follow them? The purpose of having a guardian is to see that they follow the writings. That's the purpose of the Davidic kingship, to see that the democracy under it follows the constitution, of the Covenant. But these guys, they see that if they're going to take over, the first thing they have to do is to get rid of the guardian. The Davidic kingship is called the guardian. The word "guardian" means "guard." His job is to guard the Faith. If you have a junkyard and if you have some guard dogs inside, no one will try to get in there and try to steal some of the parts, because the dogs are usually Doberman pincers and they're really ferocious. If someone wants to get in there, what they do is they kill off the dog. They throw some poisoned meat in there. They kill the dog and then they can go in and rob the place. That's what the Hands were concerned with doing—getting rid of the guardian so they could rob the Baha'i Faith. We have a Baha'i-gate on our hands.

When Dr. Jensen met Mason Remey in Washington D.C., Mason told them that those there had passed the first test, they know the Guardianship will never end. He told them their next test would be to figure out who the guardian was. Mason deliberately tested the believers by appointing decoy guardians, like Joel Marangella, and a slew of vice presidents who would act like successors. He wanted to see who knew the criteria for the Guardianship. Only one person met the criteria, being appointed and being a son: Joseph Pepe Remey.

The Baha'is who accepted Mason Remey continued to teach the true Cause of God under the guardianship and under the Covenant. Thousands of people were under the provisions of the Covenant, under the guardian, and Mason Remey called it the Orthodox Baha'i Faith, meaning the true Baha'i Faith.

The Faith was increasing in numbers very rapidly. Some of the friends wanted to have a National Spiritual Assembly. The Covenant-breakers continued the old Administration, taking over the membership and the institutions. Dr. Jensen was in opposition to setting up a new Administration, he had seen too much corruption. He was worried that the people would get control of it, have control of the Baha'i Faith, and set their will above the Will of God.

In 1963, the guardian wrote him. He said, "Dr. Jensen, don't you think it would be a good idea if we had a National Spiritual Assembly under the guardianship?" Mason assured him it would just be for two things. One would be to save the waverers, those that were wavering in their violation, and two would be to organize the teaching effort so that it could go forward. Dr. Jenson wrote back to him and said that under these conditions, he would highly support this.

The convention to elect the National Assembly was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico at Ridvan which was April 21 - May 3. Dr. Jensen was elected delegate for the state of Missouri. He arrived to the convention on April 23, a couple days later than most people. When he arrived, many people were giving him the cold shoulder.

When he got there, he realized that there had been some campaigning going on, and that the people there were very cool to him. He didn't know why, because every time he had gone to Baha'i meetings, under the guardian especially, they were very warm to him, because a large part of those under the guardian had come into the Baha'i Faith through his teaching. They were his spiritual children; some of them were his lifelong friends. But they were cool, and very short and he didn't know what was happening.

Later on, he found out that Rex King, the delegate from Florida, had been telling the delegates that he was to be the next guardian. Rex had a number of letters from the guardian, which he interpreted as grooming him to be the next guardian, praising him that he knew all about the Baha'i Faith and so forth. Rex King did know the Baha'i Faith very well, he was an excellent teacher, but he was telling these people he was being groomed for the guardianship. These people thought they should try to get on his good side so they could get a high position. Rex was brought under the Guardianship by Brenda Norton who called Rex a "brand plucked out of the fire," she called him this because she had saved him from the violation of the Hands.

Rex decided to attack Dr. Jensen because he and Opal were the only Knights that were under the guardian, and he knew of a prophecy by Abdu'l-Baha, which said that the Knights are going to establish the Faith. All the other Knights broke the Covenant by following the Hands. So just like the Covenant-breakers saw they had to get rid of the guard dog in order to take over the Faith after Shoghi Effendi died, Rex King, in order to take over the Baha'i Faith under Mason Remey's guardianship, saw he had to get rid of the guard dog, which was the Knight.

The election of the council began on the 24th; both Dr. Jensen and Rex King were elected onto the Council. Now the council would elect the officers. They consisted of a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, and Treasurer. They first voted for the Chairman, or President. Rex King was nominated for the Chairman, but he said, "Take my name off, I don't want an office in this thing. I just want to be a member." They pleaded with him and he said no. So Audi Petzoldt was elected to be the Chairman. The next vote was for the Vice-Chairman. Again they put up Rex King's name, he refused the same way, saying that he didn't want to be an officer. Charles Gaines was elected to that position. Next they took nominations for Secretary, and again they put up Rex King's name. So he said, "Well, if you people keep on insisting that I take an office, I will." They closed the nominations, and he was elected by a unanimous vote. They elected Clarence McClimatt as the Treasurer. The Secretary is the powerhouse in the Baha'i Administration, this office has the minutes, the correspondence, and he's practically in control. Horace Holley was elected Secretary way back in the 1920's when they started the Administration. He remained the Secretary up until his death, until after the Covenant-breaking. He helped Shoghi Effendi draw up the Baha'i Administration; he was a lawyer. He ran the Baha'i Faith in America with an iron fist. He's the one you had to go through if you really wanted something; you had to be on his side or you wouldn't get it. It was sort of a political type of non-political organization.

Rex King, having already told them he was going to be the next guardian, had no problem at all getting elected to whatever he wanted. He didn't take the nomination for Chairman or Vice-Chairman because he wanted the Secretary job. Rex King then started to take over the Baha'i Faith, just like Horace Holley did. He proposed that the different Baha'i literature should be brought to Santa Fe for distribution. They had written a number of different things that were very effective in bringing people into the Faith as well as saving the waverers. After the literature was brought to Santa Fe, at the next meeting, Rex King said that he had gone through all of them. He said none of it was satisfactory, that it was all a bunch of rubbish. He said, "I make a motion that it all be destroyed and burned." Dr. Jensen sent a cablegram to the guardian and he cabled back and told Rex, "Cease and desist."

Then Rex made a motion that only he and Charles Gaines could write the Baha'i literature. That passed 8 to 1. Then he said he wanted a Baha'i periodical every month, and they elected him as the editor and Charles Gaines as the associate editor. Charles Gaines at this time started to see that Rex King was using him. So he wrote to the guardian and asked the guardian if he could withdraw from that National Spiritual Assembly, and also, he wanted to withdraw from the Baha'i religious Faith. So the guardian wrote back, "Charles, you not only can withdraw from that National Spiritual Assembly and the Baha'i Faith, but with my blessings." In other words, the guardian was very astute. Charles Gaines saw the he didn't want to be a part of what was going on. Rex was coming up with one thing right after another. Dr. Jensen told him, "Rex, listen, the guardian made a convention call that this National Assembly should deal with two problems and two problems only, the saving of the waverers and coordinating the teaching. We haven't done either. You've got a dozen different committees." It was about this time the guardian was writing to Rex. He said, "Rex, I didn't want all of this. You're doing it as if you had millions of followers; you have only several thousand. Why all these committees? You don't need all that stuff. Get rid of those committees." But Rex wouldn't do this. And it was more committees, and more control.

One of the members made a motion that only Rex could decide who was a Baha'i and who wasn't of the new believers. That passed 8 to 1. Dr. Jensen wrote to the guardian about that. He was doing many things very fast to take over the Faith; Dr Jensen talked against all of them. There was a woman on that Assembly named Marion Rhodes, and every time Dr. Jensen would try to speak, she would go into a fit, foam at the mouth and even roll on the floor. In order to solve the problem, they told Dr. Jensen not to talk so much; but, according to Shoghi Effendi, it should be the free expression of views of any of the members of this Administration. Every time Dr. Jensen would talk on the different things they were voting on this woman would go into a fit.

Dr. Jensen decided to write a letter and send it to each member showing how Rex King was becoming a second Horace Holley, that he was doing the same thing Horace Holley did, and that we should have loving consultation. Rex King is taking over the Faith: he's the one that decides who could be a believer; now that Charles Gaines is gone he's the only one who could write the journal; he's the correspondent. They had also passed a motion that no one could write to the different assemblies except Rex because he was the Secretary. None of this was Baha'i; this was a real clincher.

After Dr. Jensen wrote this letter, they decided that at the next Assembly meeting they would set up a Baha'i Court, bring Dr. Jensen before it and throw him out of the Baha'i Faith. Dr. Jensen sent another letter to the guardian, and he wrote back and told the Council to, "Cease and desist." During this interim, the guardian was writing to Rex King and to Audi Petzoldt, the President, "If you people down there don't straighten out, and get back to the call of the convention, which is to save the waverers and to organize the teaching effort, I'm going to dissolve that Assembly."

Rex King got more and more control all the time. Dr. Jensen found out how Rex got his name, Rex King was not his real name. He told a story that he was born in a Polish family, and it ended in "ski." They lived in Chicago; there, they tell Polish jokes about how dumb they are. It's sort of a racial thing, but more or less for humor. Polish children growing up in Chicago are looked upon as if they're dumb. Rex King's father was a Christian minister and Rex was very much put down by his father. He had to be the good little boy, the example in the community. He wanted to run with the other kids in the neighborhood, have fun and do things, but he was very restricted. He started to see the hypocrisy in his father and he started to hate his father, hate his name, and the Christian religion and the church. As soon as he could leave home, he did. One of the first things he did was to change his name. "Rex" is German for "king," and "King" is English for "king," so he's "King King." According to psychology, this shows an inferiority complex – they compensate for inferior feelings with a superior attitude. He felt inferior that he was Polish, he felt inferior because his father made him feel inferior, so he was always striving to become superior. Thus he gets the name "King King." His profession was actor, and he always had to lead the show. When he was in the Administration under Shoghi Effendi, he was also in battle with the other ones trying to be at the top, and he was in trouble with them because of this, as Horace Holley was a great opponent.

Then he came under the provisions of the Covenant, under the Orthodox Baha'i Faith under the guardian, and because of his inferior feelings, he had to get control of everything. Thus he attacked Dr. Jensen, and he got the believers to go along with him in order to achieve this. Every year they elect a new National Spiritual Assembly, much to Dr. Jensen's relief, he didn't get elected to it. The guardian had asked the Baha'is to move to the mountains because of the oncoming catastrophe. It is well known in the scriptures that you have to be in the mountains when this happens. He said it would be a lot better, not only for the war, but also for the earth shifting crust, to be up in the high altitude, because when the earth shifts crust there will be inundation's and tidal waves. These catastrophes will be discussed in depth in the Revelation fireside.

Dr. Jensen had been attending school in Joplin, Missouri. He had been studying psychology in the local school there for four or five years. Some of the ills that we suffer are psychological ills due to different psychological processes that trigger it off. He needed to know why the people did the things that they did from a psychological standpoint. He needed to find an area in the mountains that had reciprocity for his Missouri license to practice Naturopathic Medicine. This applied to almost all the states in the Rocky Mountain area, but they only take so many by reciprocity each year. The only state he could get licensed for at that time was Montana. He decided to move to Missoula, Montana. He chose Missoula because it was the only city in the state that had a graduate school of psychology, that is, in clinical psychology. The other cities just had an undergraduate school. So he moved to Missoula to further his education. They purchased a house at 328 Stephens Avenue and turned the downstairs into an office. Dr. Jensen started school in September and about a month later opened up practice in October. He put an ad in paper stating that he and Opal were now open for practice. About a week later, a man named Dr. Kay visits.

Dr. Jensen was open about a week, when he had a visit from a man by the name of Dr. Kay. Dr. Jensen asked him what he could do for Dr. Kay. He said, "I'm Dr. Kay, I'm the President of the Montana Chiropractic Association." Doc was practicing natural medicine and chiropractic under the chiropractic law that includes both. Dr. Jensen said: "Well, I've got my license here." Dr. Kay: "I know you're licensed." Dr. Jensen "Well, you want to see around the place?" Dr. Kay: "No, I just wanted to come by and visit you." Dr. Jensen: "Fine, is there anything I can do for you?" Dr. Kay: "Well, why did you come to Montana?" Dr. Jensen: "I got my license here and I wanted to move to the mountains." Dr. Kay: "Why do you want to move to the mountains?" Dr. Jensen: "Well, that's a religious and personal thing." Dr. Kay: "Why to Missoula?" 12 Dr. Jensen: "I'm studying clinical psychology, I'm enrolled in the school. I'm enhancing my knowledge of psychology, and it's the only graduate school in the state that teaches clinical psychology." Dr. Kay: "Dr. Jensen, when you get through with your course there, get out of town." Dr. Jensen: "Get out of town? Why?" Dr. Kay: "The chiropractors are starving here. We don't have much of a practice. It would have been better if you'd have went to some other place in Montana, such as Butte or someplace else. They're just not making it here." Dr. Jensen: "Are they practicing natural medicine?" Dr. Kay: "No, just straight chiropractic." Dr. Jensen: "Well if they would practice natural methods they would get their people well, and people would come to them." Dr. Kay: "They don't have degrees in natural medicine like you and I have." He had his degree in natural medicine, too. Dr. Kay: "They don't have a degree in it and therefore they can't practice it, they don't know natural medicine." Dr. Jensen: "Well we could hold classes and teach them this." Dr. Kay: "You'd be insulting these people--you've just come to town and you're going to teach them how to practice." Dr. Jensen: "Well, I intend to stay here, regardless of what you think or what anyone else thinks, and if they don't like it they can drop dead. I'm going to stay here. I bought property, I'm established here and I intend to stay." Dr. Kay: "Don't get sore at me. To show you that I'm not angry with you in telling you to go, I belong to the Exchange Club. We have a meeting every Tuesday at noon. I'll come by and pick you up--we'll go down there and I'll buy you a lunch or a dinner." Dr. Jensen: "Oh, that's fair enough." Dr. Jensen went with Dr. Kay to the Exchange Club, and found that it was a very political. The mayor, people of the City Council, different ones from the Legislature and several judges were there. Dr. Kay introduced him to different senators and representatives; he was trying to impress him. 13 Dr. Kay told him, "Dr. Jensen, I'm on the Central Committee of the Missoula County Democratic Society. We are the grassroots here in Missoula. These men that I introduced you to, I had a hand in getting them elected. They owe their offices to me, and they know that. Without the grassroots of this Committee they wouldn't have been able to get elected. Of the Republicans that I introduced you to who are in office, Dr. Gray over here is on the Republican grassroots. They owe their elections to him. We've more or less got this thing sowed up." Of course the chiropractors have tried to do this all over the nation in a way, because the medics are always trying to get rid of chiropractors. They do this in order to have political clout. Dr. Jensen said: "That's nice that you did this." Dr. Kay said: "Now Dr. Jensen, I'll tell you one more time, when you get through with that course, you get your butt out of town." As a threat.

Then he invited Dr. Jensen to go to the Legislature, which he did. They had a bill, which they were lobbying to get through. He went up to the different senators and representatives shook their hands and they knew him personally, and they received him, showing that he was strong. On the way back Dr. Jensen said, "Dr. Kay, hell and high water, you're not gonna get me to leave." Dr. Kay said, "We'll see."

Later, Dr Jensen found out that Dr. Kay and the other chiropractors were Masons, and they were running the chairs of different offices, climbing up to the top. Then later, one of the men at the top, a real estate man who Dr. Jensen later bought a house from, told him that they were cooking up a kettle of fish to try to get him out of town. Dr. Jensen didn't know how they were going to try and do that, but he would see them out in front of his office talking to patients as they left. This is called buttonholing. He didn't know what they were talking about. They were holding meetings at the different chiropractic offices. He would drive home at night and pass Dr. Kay's office, and there would be the cars of the other chiropractors there. Finally, one day, the sheriff came and arrested Dr. Jensen and charged him with a "lewd and lascivious act on a minor." He was dumbfounded!

Dr. Jensen later found out that the girl that was involved in this, at the time he treated her, was fifteen years old. Her mother and father brought her in, and he and Opal examined her. They found her complaint was that she had a menstrual disorder, a pain on menses, she was constipated, going three or four days without moving her bowels, and a pain in the lower back. They figured this was all associated, the pain in the back, the constipation and the menstrual disorder.

They x-rayed her back and her colon, and gave her an examination. They found that the colon had dropped down on the uterus and flipped it over backwards, and it was strangling it so that the menses wouldn't come out, and this was causing the pain. This is a very common thing that occurs, and natural methods have been very effective in treating this. Instead of putting her on Midol and other pills and giving her laxatives and things like this, Dr. Jensen laid out a course of treatments of adjustments of her back. She had some sublexations. She had a mucus colitis, a ptosis of the colon laying on the uterus. They went in and flipped the uterus over forward after they raised the colon. They used a galvanic treatment to exercise the muscles and gave her some exercises to do at home.

When you're treating a female that has female disorders, and colon disorders, you're going to have to examine these things. In her case, they didn't go in through the uterus because she was a virgin. They went in through the rectum and found that the colon was backwards. This was all misconstrued in court as being a lewd and lascivious act, and it was nothing but a bunch of chicanery by the chiropractors in this state that had threatened him time and time again to get him out of Missoula, because they didn't want him there.

The Missoula County Attorney was a democrat. His name was H.J. Pinsoneault, he owed Dr. Kay a favor as he got his position due to the efforts of the Central Committee. He appointed Daniel Shea, the deputy county attorney to prosecute the case. The judge's name was Emmit Glore, a Republican of ill repute. Pinsoneault and Kay did not like this judge and wanted him disbarred. Every civil suit the Democrats brought to this judge, he turned down. Dr. Jensen's attorney, Mr. Hoven, and the deputy county attorney, Mr. Shea, were Democrats. During the trial, a doctor was brought in from the Montana State Chiropractic Board. He testified that the procedure used by Dr. Jensen to help the girl was standard, he even demonstrated it himself on a skeleton and showed it in a book, demonstrating that Dr. Jensen's treatments were in conformity with the law. Then, the prosecution paraded 12 female witnesses to defame Dr. Jensen's character. Some of these women Dr. Jensen had never seen before. His defense lawyer wouldn't cross-examine these women, saying their testimony was irrelevant. This was true, their testimony was not relevant, just like in the William Kennedy rape trial where the prosecution tried to have other women testify that Kennedy-Smith had raped them. Their testimony was not allowed. Dr. Jensen could see jury was falling for their stories so he kept telling his lawyer that he should do something so the jury could see they were lying, maybe even getting paid. Mr. Hoven said, "No, their testimony is not relevant, it's not germane to the case."

Mr. Hoven told Dr. Jensen, "You have nothing to worry about. My brother-in-law is the county attorney in Great Falls, and he's running for state's attorney." Mr. Hoven had a brother-in-law, Gene B. Daly, who was the Cascade County Attorney. He was running for State's Attorney as a democrat. "If you get convicted, my brother-in-law will become the state's attorney and he'll bring it before the Supreme Court and we'll get a reversal. Nothing to worry about." The judge is republican and always sided against cases brought to him by democratic lawyers – they want him removed. If Leland gets convicted they will be able to show that he shouldn't have allowed those women to testify. If he cross-examines them it gives them credibility and makes their testimony admissible and relevant. Dr. Jensen could see he was in a pickle, as he could see the jury was falling for their stories. All along Dr. Jensen's attorney planned on getting him convicted! His lawyer explained that this was a win-win situation. The judge will get disbarred for letting the women testify and the Democratic Chiropractors will get rid of this judge. Pinsoneault, the Missoula County Attorney, would get his conviction and thereby repay his debt to the Chiropractors who ran the Central Committee. Mr. Shea would win and receive his promised nomination from the Missoula County Democratic Nomination Committee for Missoula County Attorney. Mr. Hoven's brother-in-law will get a victory in his first appeal to the Supreme Court. Then, Dr. Jensen would win the appeal and wouldn't have to go to jail and then he could sue the Chiropractors for slander. Doc was convicted and sentenced 20 years. Then, just after he was convicted, when it was time for the election, there was a big scandal that took place in Great Falls. In that district, there were prostitution houses run by a Madame. They tried to show that the County Attorney, Gene Daley, was receiving bribes to keep it going. This hit the headlines, and it ruined his chances to be elected. After Dr. Jensen was convicted and the case went to the Supreme Court, there was no brother-in-law to take it in there and get it reversed, as he was the one who fell in the prostitution scandal!

When Dr. Jensen was in prison, he said, "Oh God, why does this misjustice happen to somebody that's been a servant to the Cause of God all these years? Why does God allow such a travesty as things like this?" But, it didn't shake his faith in God or his religion at all. There must be answers to this, that God is all-powerful. Then he remembered that in the Baha'i Faith we must accept our lot in life with radiant acquiescence. During the time of the martyrs, 10,000 Babis went to the chopping block, cut up by knives, they drove holes in their chests and put lighted candles in them, paraded them through the streets naked with rings through their noses and horseshoes nailed to their feet. All of these things take place as part of God's plan. God allowed Jesus Christ to go to the cross. He allowed the Bab to be martyred. God allowed Baha'u'llah to spend forty years in prison and in exile.

He was taunted by some of the inmates who would call him "Dirty Jacket, Dirty Jacket." He asked someone why they were calling him "Dirty Jacket." They told him that everyone has a file with their crime inside and if you are here on a sex crime against a minor, which is the worst of all crimes, you were called Dirty Jacket. They also called him "Bible Back" as he was always reading the Bible and talking about the Baha'i Faith.

He wondered, "What is the reason for me being here?" He was praying and studying, going through the Baha'i Faith and things like this, and this went on for about six weeks.

Dr. Jensen received a letter from the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, around 11:30 in the morning when the mail came. On the top it said, "For Dr. Leland Jensen from the Guardian of the Orthodox Baha'i World Faith." It also said on top, "C/O American Express Co., Florence. Italy."

The guardian had moved from Washington to Florence, Italy. The guardian sent this letter on September 13, 1969. Dr. Jensen got into prison on August 8, 1969, so he was in there about five weeks when he received this letter. To him, this letter was greatly overdue: Some days ago I was astonished to have word that Rex King and two young men were below wishing to see me. I sent word back to say that I would like very much to see Rex but not the young men. I had things I wanted to tell him but not them. I told Rex that no one of my acquaintance has a better knowledge of the Baha'i Faith than he but as Lucifer in Old Testament Days chose to put truth aside and espouse the cause of Satan, so had he done in these modern times decided that he would now assume the station of Satan in these days of the Dispensation of Christ, despite the many opportunities that I had given him to change his evil ways, yet he refused and blatantly insisted on maintaining his satanic intentions, therefore obliging me to cast him out from all association in this world with the people of God that included the life to come as well as his life here upon earth – his station to be ever and eternally that of Satan for evermore. ~Charles Mason Remey

Dr. Jensen was stunned and had mixed feelings. He knew that Rex was satanic and that this should have happened much sooner as he had been writing the Guardian about Rex since 1963. Mason Remey had dissolved that Assembly that Rex was heading up in 1966 and asked Rex for the minutes but Rex refused. Rex then continued correspondence with Baha'is all over world. He contacted these Baha'is to convince them that the Guardian, by getting rid of the Administration, had lost his mind. He said the man's getting old and they needed a younger man to be guardian.

Rex had collected five hundred letters to back him on this when he went to the guardian in Florence, and he brought his two adopted sons to be witnesses. Rex was proposing that the guardian appoint him as regent guardian, but the Guardian said "Your Satan" and expelled him from the Baha'i Faith. Rex was deflated. He wrote to Joel Marengella, who had a letter from the guardian, which he wasn't supposed to open until the guardian passed on. Rex wrote Joel, "In that letter, the guardian has appointed you to be the his successor." Joel opened the letter and it said just that. When Mason found out he said, "I told Joel not to open it until I died. Now that he's disobeyed me he can never be guardian." Joel started getting people to follow him with Rex until Rex split the group. He said that Joel was corrupt and then he set himself up as regent guardian. So now there was Joel Marangella's Baha'i Faith and Rex King's Baha'i Faith. And most of those who had followed Mason where in these two groups, it was corruption!

Dr. Jensen received this letter at about 11 o'clock. He read it, meditated on it, and wondered just what was going to happen. Practically the whole Baha'i Faith was destroyed. He was somewhat disenchanted, but he knew there was an answer to these things. After reading the letter from Mason Remey, Dr. Jensen went to lunch. When he came back, he found a Bible had been tossed in between the bars of his cell and had landed on the table. It was open, and a stiff page with a color picture was standing straight up in the Book of Zechariah, it was the kind of Bible with pictures. He knew it didn't come down out of the sky and out of heaven, and he held his hand at this place, and he looked at the front, and he found that this was Myron Gardapy's Bible. His parents had given it to him; they thought he might become religious. He told Dr. Jensen a day or two before that he was going out on parole, and one of the things that they usually do is leave something of themselves to their friends as a memento of friendship. He had befriended Myron, and Myron knew he was religious.

Dr. Jensen knew that things don't happen by accident, he always felt that there is a bigger reason or cause for things that happen. Many times he'd just take a book and open it up and then start reading, and it usually had a message. So he started to read verse one of the chapter it was open to which was chapter three of Zechariah. The Bible was a King James Version so the following verses are taken from that same version.

"And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him." (Zechariah 3:1)

Dr. Jensen thought, "My, this is a coincidence. Here's a fellow by the name of Joshua that was opposed by Satan, the same as I was." Dr. Jensen was a Knight of Baha'u'llah, one of the most effective teachers in the United States, bringing thousands of people into the Cause, and here Rex King had taken over the Baha'i Faith and destroyed it. He had to get rid of Dr. Jensen, and he did, by the tactics that he used. He got this far, and he figured he'd be able to wrench the Faith out of the hands of the guardian, which he wasn't able to do. Dr. Jensen thought it was interesting that here Rex King had resisted him in the same way as happened to this Joshua fellow. "And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan;" (Zechariah 3: 2)

He thought, "Oh my gosh, this Satan got rebuked in the time of Joshua like Rex King is being rebuked by the guardian here." He was seeing the parallel between the two, thinking about the letter he had just received from the guardian. He thought that there was a coincidence of something happening to Joshua that was happening to him. "...even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?" (Zechariah 3:2) When Rex King came under the guardian Mason Remey, Mrs. Norton was the one who was in correspondence with him, and she said, "I plucked him out of the fire." So that happened to come to his mind, the correlation.

"Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel." (Zechariah 3: 3)

"Oh my gosh," he said. "When I got to prison, the first time I went to chow hall I was going through the yard, and the other inmates sitting out in the yard were saying, "Dirty jacket, dirty jacket, dirty jacket!" The type of beef that he was sent there on, a lewd and lascivious act, was called a "dirty jacket." Now if he would have committed murder, or robbed some old woman of her money or something like that, they would think he was a great guy. But this type of beef they don't associate with in prison; it's a dirty jacket. So here he's wearing a dirty jacket, and this Joshua's wearing a dirty jacket, more of a parallel.

"And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment." (Zechariah 3: 4) And he said, "Well this happened to this Joshua here, is this going to happen to me?" Then it says:

"And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by." (Zechariah 3:5)

He said, "What's a fair mitre?" So he looked it up in the dictionary and it was a turban of the High Priest. It also refers to the mitre board the college graduate wears; it's flat on top. When the priest reaches a certain state of spiritual knowledge and spiritual character, he receives a fair mitre. "Well," he said, "he had a mitre board, and his iniquity passed from him, is this going to happen to me?" "And the angel protested unto Joshua saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts..." (Zechariah 3:6-7)

Shoghi Effendi was in the process of establishing National Baha'i Courts in the East when he died. That's why he was going to have an International Baha'i Court on Mt. Carmel in '63, in order to have a court for those local courts to appeal to. So Dr. Jensen thought, "Is this applying to the Baha'i Faith?" He started thinking maybe this applies to the Baha'i Faith, too, because there was such a correlation. "...and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH." (Zechariah 3:7-8)

Notice the word "BRANCH" is in all capital letters. He said, "Oh my God, the Branch is 'Abdu'l-Baha!" We studied that in Baha'u'llah's Covenant—when He appoints 'Abdu'l-Baha to be the Most Great Branch, to be His Successor. All the guardians are called branches. It says if Shoghi Effendi's son doesn't have the spiritual qualities he must choose another branch. So this is the Davidic Kingship.

He said, "My gosh, this isn't history, this is a prophecy!" But then he started thinking, "What am I thinking, what am I saying? Am I this person? Far be it from me to have thoughts of such a nature. I never dreamed of being anything." He was becoming befuddled, and he didn't feel very comfortable with himself or what was happening. "For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of Hosts..." (Zechariah 3: 9)

He said, "Stone with seven eyes. How can a stone have seven eyes?" He looked around to see if there were any stones around the room. No stones. He said, "A potato can have eyes, but how can a stone have seven eyes?" He counted the bars on his cell and on the windows, and there was no stone before him, so he didn't have to worry about this pertaining to him. He was very much relieved; he was very, very much relieved that it didn't pertain to him.

At that moment he had a visitation. It said, "Dr. Jensen, you are the Joshua of the third chapter of Zechariah." And it said, "You will establish the branch in the world." Dr. Jensen didn't see anything, but he felt something, and he knew that there was a strong presence there, telling him that he was Joshua. He told it to leave. He said, "I don't want to be perverted or corrupted with such a thing." "I'm a very practical person, and if I had practical evidence of this nature I'd accept it, but not just because an angel tells me that I'm this or that." The spirit of God descended upon Jesus as a dove, and the angel Gabriel came to Muhammad in the cave of Hira. He was like Muhammad. Muhammad ran home to His wife Kadijah, and he was very frightened. He said an angel told Him that He was the Prophet of God. And she said, "What angel was It?" And He said, "The angel Gabriel. She said, "oh, Gabriel's a good angel, and if he tells you this, you are a Prophet, and she became His first believer. But he didn't have a Kadijah to go home to, he was in a cell! He was very much disturbed, and he told the angel to beat it, just like Muhammad did. He ran out of the cave and the angel followed Him out, He was very disturbed about this. So Dr. Jensen said, "Well, there's no stone with seven eyes, I don't have to worry about it."

At this particular time, they were trying to get Dr. Jensen to go to work. The doctor said he didn't have to work because he had trouble breathing, a little bronchitis. He had been busy writing. The guardian Mason Remey told him that he was going to write a book and that the guardian was going to publish it. He never had a chance to write a book, he was always too busy. But now he had plenty of time, so he started writing a book.

The deputy warden called him up to the office quite often and asked him, "Dr. Jensen, don't you think it would be a good idea for you to take a job here in the prison?"

He said, "I don't need ten cents a day." That's all they paid. Dr. Jensen told him, "You don't need to worry about me, I'm writing a book, I have a typewriter in there, I'm getting the manuscript written." He said, "O.K." But he kept calling him.

One day, there was a man a couple cells down that heard Dr. Jensen typing and he said, "Dr. Jensen, is that you typing?" He said, "Yeah." The man said, "Oh thank God I found somebody who knows how to type. I'm working in the fingerprint department up there. I passed parole and I'm ready to go out on parole, but I don't have a trade, and they told me that if I went out to Rathey Hall (which is about seven miles from the prison) they have a meat-packing plant out there. If I went out there they would teach me meat-cutting. And they have several jobs in meat-cutting available. But they won't let me go out there because they have nobody to fill my position in the fingerprint department because they haven't got anybody that knows how to type in the prison. Will you take this job?" Dr. Jensen told him, "No, I don't have to work." So later on the deputy warden called him up again and he said, "What would you do if you were going to go to work?" He said, "This fella in the next cell to me, or the next cell down from there, is fingerprinting, and he made parole, and he needs somebody to take his job so he can go out to Rathey Hall and learn meat-cutting." "Aha!" he said. "That's your job! You're gonna work at that." Dr. Jensen said, "I get tired all of a sudden quickly. When I get tired, I have to lay down. And this is one of the reasons the doctor told me I don't have to work, because when I get tired, I'm tired. I just have to lay right down right then." He said, "Alright, we'll make this part of your worksheet that any time you feel tired, just tell them you're tired and you can go up to your cell and go to sleep, or lay down, anything you want to do." He said, "Fine." Under those conditions he took it.

After he was on that job for several weeks, he heard one of the guards saying, "They're bringing another one in." He was up in the Administration Department. And they said, "They're bringing another one in through Tower Seven." That means they were bringing another convict in, a new convict. He looked out the window and there was a two-story tower. Upstairs was a man with a gun and there were windows all the way around. Below there was a door to the street and a door to the prison yard. They opened the door to the street and he went into a room. They electrically closed the door, locked it, and then they opened the door to the prison yard. A sheriff was bringing him in, handcuffed, out of that room into the prison yard, and then they came up the steps to the Administration.

He looked out there and saw all this happening, and he asked the guard, "That is a stone wall out there, isn't it?" He said, "Every bit of it is stone wall." Dr. Jensen said, "You said this is Tower Seven. How many towers does this prison have?" He said there was seven! He said, "And that's Tower Seven." Dr. Jensen said, "Where are the other towers?" He said, "Well over there in that corner is Tower One, in the other corner is Tower Two, in the other corner is Tower Three, in the middle there is Tower Four, in the other corner Tower Five and in the other corner Tower Six." And he said, "You come in through Tower Seven and you go out through Tower Seven."

So he stood up, and turned around, and every way that he turned, he had a stone with seven eyes before him. This is a picture of this stone with seven eyes. The "stone with seven eyes" is Ezekiel's temple in Montana. Tower #7 faces east.

After this happened he became very, very disturbed, and he told the guard, "I'm tired. I have to go and lay down." He said, "Go ahead, you can go back to your bailiwick." When he got back to his cell, he looked in the mirror; he said he was white as a ghost. He said, "My gosh. The only reason I had objected to being this person was that all the conditions weren't fulfilled, I didn't have the stone with seven eyes before me. Now I find that I have it before me."

He decided not to tell anyone what he had learned. When his wife, Opal, came to visit him, she kept asking what was going on. She noticed a change, she kept asking so finally he told her. He said, "I'm the Joshua of Zechariah chapter 3 and it's my job to establish the Branch. She said, "I knew that! The prophecies say the Knights will Establish the Cause, and we're the only ones left." How great, how very great is the Cause; how very fierce the onslaught of all the peoples and kindreds of the earth! Erelong shall the clamor of the multitude throughout Africa, throughout America, the cry of the European and of the Turk, the groaning of India and China be heard from far and near. One and all they shall arise with all their power to resist His Cause. Then shall the Knights of the Lord, assisted by grace from on high, strengthened by faith, aided by the power of understanding and reinforced by the legions of the Covenant, arise and make manifest the truth of the verse: `Behold the confusion that hath befallen the tribes of the defeated!' (Cited in Shoghi Effendi, "Baha'i Administration: Selected Messages 1922-1932", `Abdu'l-Baha: Power of Divine Assistance, Page: 212)

Dr. Jensen fulfills the Golden Criteria, fulfilling prophecy by Name, Date, Address and Mission.

Name "For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of Hosts and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. " (Zechariah 3: 9).

Other Bibles read "the land." The Hebrew words used here are "Ha Eretz" which means "the land." When he was on the French Islands and he told them his name was Leland, they said, "Oh, you're the land, you're the land!" That's how he happened to know that this is his name. "Le" is French for "the." Leland actually means "the land."

The iniquities of the land are going to be removed in one day, and it says in the fourth verse the iniquity of Joshua is going to be removed. The iniquity of the land and the iniquity of Joshua is what? The dirty garment. His iniquity was the dirty garment, that's what he was in prison for, and Joshua's iniquity was the dirty garment. So the Joshua and the land are the same person. It's the name in which the establisher, the seventh angel, is going to establish the branch. That's his name, the land, Leland.

Date You may remember when you read the date prophecy for Baha'u'llah in His proofs, that we read Matthew 24:3 and 15. There, when the disciples asked Jesus when he would return, he referred them to the book of Daniel. We figured out the first two dates but not the third. This was in chapter 12 of the book of Daniel. Esselmont writes about this date in his book, Baha'u'llah and the New Era in the chapter titled, Prophesies of Baha'u'llah and Abdu'l-Baha under subtitle Coming of the Kingdom of God:

In the last two verses of the book of Daniel occur the cryptic words:--"Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days. But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days." Many have been the attempts of learned students to solve the problem of the significance of these words. In a table-talk at which the writer was present, Abdu'l-Baha reckoned the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy from the date of the beginning of the Muhammadan era. (page, 249) The Muhammadan era began with the victory of Muhammad in 628 AD, and 628 AD plus 1335 years brings us to 1963. The date for the coming of the Bab was from the start of the calendar to 1260 AH which was 1844 AD. For the coming of Baha'u'llah, it was from the proclamation of Muhammad to the proclamation of Baha'u'llah. But this date is from the victory of Muhammad to the victory of the Cause of God—from victory to victory.

Esselmont gives this date: Abdu'l-Baha's Tablets make it clear that this prophecy refers to the one-hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad, or the year 1963: — 'Now concerning the verse in Daniel, the interpretation whereof thou didst ask, namely, "Blessed is he who cometh unto the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days." These days must be reckoned as solar and not lunar years. For according to this calculation a century will have elapsed from the dawn of the Sun of Truth, then will the teachings of God be firmly established upon the earth, and the divine light shall flood the world from the East even unto the West. Then, on this day, will the faithful rejoice!'

'Abdu'l-Baha said that all of these things would be established by the seventh angel, and the seventh angel comes in 1963, and this is the start of Dr. Jensen's ministry. The seventh angel is the same as Joshua the High Priest: "And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing on his right hand to resist him." (Zechariah 3:1)

This took place on April 21, 1963. 'Abdu'l-Baha said that the seventh angel would come exactly one hundred years after Baha'u'llah's proclamation on April 21, 1863. So at that date Dr. Jensen was opposed by Satan, Rex King, who came against Dr. Jensen at the Feast of Ridvan during National Assembly elections. This prophecy was fulfilled perfectly, down to the very day.

When he had the visitation in the prison and he found out that he was the promised one, he didn't want it, and he refused to tell anybody. Finally his wife said, "You've got to tell me." That was several months after he knew it. So he made her promise not to tell anybody, and she kept the secret.

But then in 1971, on April 29th, one of the inmates in the prison, a man by the name of Harry Stroup who had been reading the Bible, came up to Dr. Jensen in the court yard and said, "Dr. Jensen, you are the Joshua of the third chapter of Zechariah," and he said, "the prison wall surrounding us is the stone with seven eyes." Dr. Jensen said, "Harry, I didn't tell you that." He said, "No, I had a visitation."

Just like Jesus, he asked the people, "Who do they say I am?" They said, "You're a great man, you're a teacher." Then He asked the apostles and Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." He said, "Peter, I didn't tell you that, but the Father revealed this to you."

The same thing happened here, and the day was April 29, 1971, 108 years after Baha'u'llah's proclamation on April 21, 1863. The next fireside is about the Great Pyramid of Giza, it explains how the Great Pyramid is a chronological book in stone which gives the dates for the coming of all the Promised Ones of God, including Dr. Jensen. In the floor of the King's Chamber are 108 red granite blocks. You add 108 to April 21, 1863, and you get April 21, 1971. But Dr. Jensen made his proclamation on April 29th. Baha'u'llah had already made it a holy day, it's one of the nine holy days of the Baha'i year, and it so happens that there are nine granite beams in the ceiling of the King's Chamber. April 21 is the first day of Ridvan and April 29 is the ninth day of Ridvan, and that gives us April 29, 1971, when he told Harry Stroup, "Yes, I am the Joshua or the Jesus to come to establish my Father's kingdom--Baha'u'llah's. I'm a Knight, and I'm revealing the things that the people need to know so that everybody can become Baha'i."

Address The address is the stone with seven eyes as we have already seen. But where is the stone with seven eyes? We need to know to make sure that this is the proper stone with seven eyes. This is from the sixth chapter of Zechariah: "And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains and the mountains were mountains of brass." (Zechariah 6:1) The Hebrew word for copper, brass, and bronze is the same word. The Deer Lodge Prison is located between the two biggest mountains of brass in the world at Deer Lodge, Montana. Butte was called "the richest hill in the world." They mined more copper there than any other place in the world. And there are larger deposits of copper in Lincoln, Montana. Deer Lodge, where the prison is located, is halfway between these two mountains of brass.

"BUTTE, a city of Montana, U.S., on the western slope of the continental divide; the seat of Silver Bow County. Butte early became known as "the richest hill on earth." ... Copper production in Butte began in 1882 and by 1900 represented 50% of the nation's output." (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1967)

"In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; and in the third chariot were white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth." (Zechariah 6: 2-5)

And out of this prison has come the core of the Baha'i Faith under the guardianship. The stone with seven eyes is in the Bible. Joshua the High Priest comes out of there, we will read more about the High Priest when we examine the mission.

Mission - The Seventh Angel On page sixty-six of Some Answered Questions, 'Abdu'l-Baha explains that the seventh angel will come to establish the Kingdom of God in the world. If you read starting at page 55, you will find that 'Abdu'l-Baha explains that Joshua, in the time of Moses, established Moses' religion in Palestine. He took the twelve tribes across the River Jordan and established the religion.

'Abdu'l-Baha says 'Ali was the establisher of Islam. 'Ali was like Joshua in the time of Moses. He then goes on to say that Quddus, the establisher of the Babi Faith, was like 'Ali. These are the establishers of the Revelations of the Divine Manifestations. Ali was the fifth angel, Quddus was the sixth angel, and the seventh angel is the establisher of Baha'u'llah's Revelation.

Then, on page 66 of Some Answered Questions, 'Abdu'l-Baha says the seventh angel is going to come, meaning that he was not the seventh angel, that Baha'u'llah was not the seventh angel, that the Bab was not the seventh angel, that the seventh angel hadn't come yet. He said he's going to come and establish the kingdom.

On page 66, 'Abdu'l-Baha explains verses from the 11th chapter of the Book of Revelations, and He comes to the part about the seventh angel: "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." (Revelation 11:15)

Abdu'l-Baha explains: "The seventh angel is a man qualified with heavenly attributes, who will arise with heavenly qualities and character. Voices will be raised, so that the appearance of the Divine Manifestation will be proclaimed and diffused."

That is, this seventh angel will proclaim and diffuse this Divine Manifestation of Baha'u'llah because the Covenant-breakers have taken over the Baha'i World Faith and corrupted it and perverted it. So the seventh angel sounds his trumpet: "In the day of the manifestation of the Lord of Hosts, and at the epoch of the divine cycle of the Omnipotent which is promised and mentioned in all the books and writings of the Prophets--in that day of God, the Spiritual and Divine Kingdom will be established, and the world will be renewed; a new spirit will be breathed into the body of creation, the season of the divine spring will come, the clouds of mercy will rain, the sun of reality will shine, the life-giving breeze will blow, the world of humanity will wear a new garment, the surface of the earth will be a sublime paradise; mankind will be educated, wars, disputes, quarrels, and malignity will disappear, and truthfulness, righteousness, honesty, and the worship of God will appear; union, love, and brotherhood will surround the world, and God will rule for evermore: meaning that the Spiritual and Everlasting Kingdom will be established."

No way can the Covenant-breakers establish the kingdom because they have done away with the king. They are presenting a republic in its stead. It is up to the seventh angel to establish the Everlasting Kingdom. He does this by establishing the Branch, or the Davidic Kingship.

Dr. Jensen has a mandate from God to establish the Kingdom in the world. He accomplished his mission by reappointing the members of the International Baha'i Council and placing Mason Remey's son as the executive branch. The Davidic Kingship shall never come to an end as promised in all the books of God.

Mission - Jesus the High Priest After the Order of Melchizedek In the prophecy concerning Dr. Jensen in the book of Zechariah, it explains that he is the high priest: "And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH." (Zechariah 3: 6-8)

This Branch referred to here in Zechariah 3 is Abdu'l-Baha. Baha'u'llah, the second coming of Christ, in His Covenant appointed Abdu'l-Baha as His successor and conferred upon him the title The Most Great Branch. Abdu'l-Baha, in His Will and Testament delineating Baha'u'llah's Covenant, continued these branches (Persian – Aghsan, which means sons), as the executive branch of Baha'u'llah's government, the Kingdom of God on Earth as it is in Heaven. This lineage from David, which is none other than the Lordly BRANCH, is the sign of God distinguishing Baha'u'llah's Universal House of Justice from fakes, frauds, and imitations. The Covenant-breaking Hands, led by Ruhiyyih Khanum, threw these branches out, and set up a bogus Universal House of Justice in its stead, without this Executive Branch, violating the Covenant of God. But God, having an ace up His sleeve, has sent Joshua to bring forth the branch. As the High Priest, his mission is to re-establish the branch, the lineage of King David, in the world. Halley's Bible handbook, which is for Christians, says that the Joshua of Zechariah 3 pertains to the coming of Jesus. In the Catholic Douay Version of the Bible it doesn't say Joshua, it says Jesus. "Jesus" and "Joshua" are the same name in a different language. Read from this Catholic Bible, it says, "And he showed me Jesus the high priest." Jesus fulfilled two roles on his first coming, one of the King (Messiah), and one of the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. Melchizedek is first mentioned in the book of Genesis. "Melchi" means "my king" in Hebrew. "Zedek" means "righteousness" in Hebrew, and was also the Hebrew name for Adam, the first prophet to appear in this 6000 year cycle. The Melchizedek mentioned in Genesis 14:18-20 was Shem, the blessed son of Noah. He was the builder and king of Jerusalem. Paul explains in the book of Hebrews that Melchizedek was the mediator of the Covenant. After Abraham fought the Battle of the Kings when he fled from Babylon, he came to Jerusalem and there Melchizedek, Shem, came out of the city and presented Abraham with bread and wine and it says that Shem blessed Abraham. He blessed him by passing the Covenant to Abraham. This is the Covenant that 'Kings would come forth from him and that he would be the father of a multitude of nations.' It is through this Covenant that all of the people of the Earth can now gain admittance into the Kingdom of God on Earth. Paul explains that this priesthood is great, so great that even Abraham the patriarch paid him tithes.

Shem, who lived around 2000 BC, was both King of Salem and Melchizedek the High Priest. A thousand years later the Kingship and the priesthood was split with David being the King and Zedek being the priest. It came back together with Jesus the first Christ, who was both the Messiah and the High Priest. He mediated a new Covenant, that the people could be grafted into the Tree of Life through Faith. Then it is again separated with Baha'u'llah being the prophesied King Messiah seated on the Throne of David and Dr. Jensen as the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek who comes to establish and mediate the Covenant.

In the Proofs for Jesus you read how Christianity was corrupted by the religion that was formed in Babylon at the time of Shem by Nimrod, his nephew. Melchizedek appeared at that time to ensure that the truth would be established in Jerusalem even though the lie was being established in Babylon. Today, Dr. Jensen is the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek who comes when the lie is being established on Mt. Carmel by the corrupt Hands of the Cause. Also, he fights against the Babylonian whore religion, the trinity that was established in Christianity long ago. "...and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day." (Zechariah 3:9)

Dr. Jensen's name is the land, Leland. The iniquity of Joshua and the iniquity of the land are the same iniquity. And nobody knew that this land meant a person. But it says in the nineteenth chapter of Revelations that he has a name that nobody knows but him, and nobody else would know it unless he has that name and he fulfilled these prophecies. He had the stone with seven eyes before him, he wore the dirty garment, he was opposed by Satan at the date given by Daniel, and he has a fair mitre on his head; otherwise you wouldn't know of all this.

Dr. Jensen fulfills the calling card or the Golden Criteria. He came in the name, at the address—at the stone with seven eyes; and this is between two mountains of brass, which is also prophesied in Zechariah. At the date in 1963 he was opposed by Satan, and at the other date in 1971 when he made his proclamation.

No one will ever fulfill this Criteria again. Dr. Jensen established the second International Baha'i Council, which is the Rod of Gold as you learned in the Covenant. He placed the King back in his place, as the president. The King is the 'branch of wood' and the body, which will be elected from all the peoples of the earth, is the 'branch of iron.' Together, they form the rod of purest Gold. In his writing Dr. Esslemont quotes Baha'u'llah and Abdu'l-Baha: Amid these troublous times, however, the Cause of God will prosper. The calamities caused by the selfish struggle for individual existence, or for party or sectarian or national gain, will induce the people to turn in despair to the remedy offered by the Word of God. The more calamities abound, the more will the people turn to the only true remedy.

Baha'u'llah says in His Epistle to the Shah:-- "God hath made afflictions as a morning shower to this green pasture, and as a wick for His Lamp, whereby earth and heaven are illumined.... Through affliction hath His Light shone and His Praise been bright unceasingly; this hath been His method through past ages and bygone times."

Both Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha predict in the most confident terms the speedy triumph of spirituality over materiality and the consequent establishment of the Most Great Peace. Abdu'l-Baha wrote in 1904: Know this, that hardships and misfortunes shall increase day by day, and the people shall be distressed. The doors of joy and happiness shall be closed on all sides. Terrible wars shall happen.

Disappointment and the frustration of hopes shall surround the people from every direction until they are obliged to turn to God. Then the lights of great happiness shall enlighten the horizons, so that the cry of Ya Baha'u'l-Abha! May arise on all sides." (Baha'u'llah and the New Era, page 248)

"I am the Joshua or the Jesus to come to establish my Father's kingdom--Baha'u'llah's. I'm a Knight, and I'm revealing the things that the people need to know so that everybody can become Baha'i." (Dr. Jensen)
