86. THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN ME
WILL NOT TASTE DEATH [1] When we had taken the evening meal, Ouran, who had also eaten on the summit, came to Me and said: “Lord, for the size and eminence that no mortal tongue knows the name which You are worthy of, how should I, a pitiful worm of the dust, thank You for the eternally invaluable treasures that Your divine graciousness here has provided for me, and how should I praise, honor and respect You, You eternal most eminent one!? [2] Oh Lord, what are we mortals then, that You pay attention to us?! What can we do then in order to please You?” [3] I say: “Come on, friend, and now do not cause such a powerful stir! For look, you are what you are, a person with a mortal body, it is true, but in which lives an immortal soul with an even more immortal spirit from God; and I am also a person in whom a divine immortal soul and the spirit of God lives in His fullness, as far as is necessary for this earth, and that is the Father in Heaven, whose son I am and whose children you also are. [4] But you were all blind and still are in many ways; but I came into the world seeing, in order to show the Father to you all and to make you see as I do. [5] I have received the fullness of life from the Father, and can also give life to every everybody who wants life; for the Father decreed Me before the world was created that in Me all fullness of life would live and through Me all people should live. And I am this decree in respect of My soul; in the spirit I am one with Him who made Me. [6] You see, I am the way, the truth and the life! Those who believe in Me will never see death, neither feel it or taste it, even if they could die more than once in the body; but those who will not believe in Me, they will die, even if they had life a thousand times over! [7] For every person has a body, and it must die one deay– My body will also not be spared this; but the soul will only become freer, brighter and more alive after the laying off of the body, and will be fully One with Him who created them before the world for the salvation of everyone who will believe in the son of man and keep his commandments.

8. For the world I am a most insignificant hero for whom there is not much regard. The scholars look down upon Me and at the most call Me an honest man. Some of them ignore Me completely; for them I no longer exist others still admit some divine trait in Me, but only for a short time, then they let themselves be influenced by the worldly wise. Soon I am dismissed and at the most regarded as a God for old women. For some of My servants and workers, who imagine themselves great, I merely serve as an official seal and as an external kind of divine cover for their idle nonsense and their gross and utter foolishness and stupidity. There are some who permit Me still to retain My divinity, but for this I must allow them to make of Me what they will in their pursuit of temporal gains. And what is the worst: I must be a downright absurdity! Love and mercy I may have only as long as it suits them; then I must become more pitiless than a stone and must suffer Myself to be changed into a most despicable tyrant I am expected to rush from One tribunal to the next and pass one condemnation after the other. My love must therefore be only temporary, whereas My tyranny and harsh judgeship are meant to last forever. Oh, those utter fools! My infinite forbearance, gentleness, meekness and eternal love for My created beings certainly do not serve their greedy purposes, but all their plans shall soon be thwarted. Their accounts are before Me and the measure of their deeds has been almost filled, and their reward is awaiting them.
9. For him who does not know Me the way I am, and who I am, it would be better not to know anything about Me, for then I could still revive him in the spirit realm. But as things are they make themselves incapable of receiving My help as they deaden the life within them by destroying and slaying Me within them, thereby becoming vines separated from the grapevine. 91. JESUS IN THE TEMPLE
[1] MEANWHILE the Pharisees, priests and servants of the temple were really upset and wondered what they could do about this big demonstration. They soon realized that it would be impossible to suppress them with arms since this would soon be followed by an uprising against the already unpopular rule of the temple. The people were exalted with enthusiasm which could not be subdued by force. So all they could do was to let it happen for the time being and to exploit it as much as possible for the prestige of the temple in case of an unexpected turnover. [2] Especially Caiaphas, the high priest, advised in a hurriedly assembled Council, to wait and see what I actually planned to do and in what direction I wanted to turn the whole movement. If I wanted to be proclaimed king, then the power of the Romans would soon be on their side, but if I wanted to go against the temple and its servants, then also I would accomplish little without embittering the people because the people would not allow them to remove their belief in Jehovah. For the moment it was mainly a question of waiting and to smartly make use of all possibly mistakes on My part. [3] However, the priests themselves decided not to be seen but to widely open the temple so that its sanctity would speak to the people. Thus they quickly opened all the gates, and also the holy place was not closed – the room which no Israelite was permitted to enter without preparation and where no priest would enter without special ceremonies, prayer and preceding washing. [4] The servants of the temple were quickly instructed to inform the again numerously present salesmen in the courtyards of the temple to avoid an irritating scene such as the one I already gave them before. But this precaution came too late because the money changers and the different kinds of salesmen became vigilant by the shouting outside the walls, and as soon as they heard what was going on they gathered their items, left the building with their merchandise and ran away because they still had well in mind what I had done before. [15] Then My soul was seized by a deep melancholy because in the hearts of those who had listened to Me for so long already and who saw so many beautiful works of the Spirit that lives in Me, still so little true living faith had grown. And all the power of My soul as Son of man clung together in the fervent desire to entirely destroy the serpent that prevented My children to see completely clear so that the tree of life in them could flourish and bear great fruits.
[16] What happened in Myself was indicated by the evangelist with the words: ‘He became angry in the spirit and sad’. For as long as My body had not died, the complete union of the material and spiritual did not take place yet, but it demanded its rights from the Son of man as a physical human being just like with anyone else. He was submitted to the necessities of the body as well as to the soul’s moods which could only be raised from the doubts to knowledge by faith and a firm will, bringing about in this way the full unity of body, soul and spirit. [17] From the moment the deity in Me made the last attempt in the lonely valley to argue with Lucifer, the Son of man came again more to the foreground, who finally in Gethsemane had to go trough all the soul’s anguishes and the foretaste of death to break all the bolts of death, disbelief and doubt, regardless of the fact that the almighty deity could have destroyed His creation with one word, but in order to save it, humbled Himself more deeply than the lowest creature. Whenever I, as Christ on earth, prayed to My Father, it was Wisdom calling to Love to limit its boundless action. Just as wisdom and love can only exist with each other, I, as the Christ, was one with My Father, the Love, and therefore I could say: 'No one knows Me, except the Father in Heaven and I alone know Him', or ‘i go to the Father' and so on. Thereby I meant to say: All the world was created out of love, but wisdom has regulated its conditions. Love creates, and wisdom preserves. Love, as the "Father", was the highest symbol of purity; whereas I, wisdom, as the "Son", proved it through the deed. Thus also man, as My descendant, shall become a manifestation of love and wisdom. He shall love first and only then shall he learn to be wise so as to comprehend fully My creation and his mission in it. (The Lord’s Sermons, chap. 5)
For if the greatest part of mankind will remain pagans and worshipers of idols after You as they did before You, for what purpose then is this Your descent to earth?
For what purpose is such degradation of Your infinite, eternal Holiness? Do you want to help only a few? Why not all?' Here the little Child answered, 'Oh Joseph, you really ask a lot of vain questions. Have you never looked at the starry heavens? See, each star which you behold is a world, is an earth upon which free human beings live as they do here! And there are countless numbers which no mortal eye has seen, and behold, this My descent to earth is meant for them all! But the how and why you will only be given to see in My kingdom in greatest clarity. So do not be surprised that I have made such a prediction to you concerning the inhabitants of this world - for I have inhabited worlds without end and number, and all these innumerable and endless hosts have need of this My descent and have need of it because My own eternal order needs it, from which this earth as well as all others without number and end have gone forth. CHAPTER 13 Jesus, the name of all names and effects of this name. Mystery of the Incarnation of God in Jesus.
[1] You ask: How will we elicit fire from our hearts so that we may kindle this wood? O, brothers and friends! What a question from you! Is not a single thought of Jesus sufficient to make the heart burst out in flames for Him? O, brothers and friends! If you could comprehend what this Name of all names says, what effect it has in it, you should instantly pass into such a powerful love for Jesus, and this fire would be sufficient to ignite a whole army of suns, making them burn a thousand times brighter in their endlessly wide space regions, than is presently the case. [2] I say to you, Jesus' greatness is so tremendous that, when His Name is spoken, the whole of infinity trembles with great reverence. If you say: God, you also call the very highest being; but you call it in its infinity, it is fulfilling the infinite universe and works with His infinite power from eternity to eternity. But in the name of Jesus, you designate the perfect, powerful, essential center of God, or even more clearly: [3] Jesus is the true, most authentic, essential God as man, from whom all divinity, which fulfills infinity, emerges as the Spirit of His infinite power, might, and form like rays from the sun. - Jesus is, therefore, the sum total of the Divinity, or: In Jesus, the Divinity dwells truly physically in its most infinite abundance; and therefore the whole Divine infinity is always animated when this infinitely most sublime Name is spoken! [4] And this is, at the same time, the infinite grace of the Lord, that it has pleased Him to accept the grain kernel of mankind. But why did He do this? Listen, I will reveal to you a little secret! [5] Before the Lord's incarnation, a man could never speak to the true nature of God. No one could ever see it without completely losing life, as Moses says, "no one can see God and live at the same time!" The Lord in the primordial Church, as well as in the Church of Melchizedek, to whom Abraham himself was acquainted, was often seen in person, and has spoken with His saints and taught His children Himself. But this personal master was in fact not the Lord Himself but at all times only an angelic spirit filled with the Spirit of God for this purpose. The Holy Spirit as the Holy Power in God
[1] BUT what you will hear now, keep it to yourselves for the time being and do not make Me known before the right time! When the right time will come, you will be informed by My spirit, which is the actual Holy Spirit. [2] The Father, I as Son and the Holy spirit are distinguishable one and the same from eternity. [3] The Father in Me is the everlasting love and as such the primordial reason and the actual primordial substance of all things, which fills the whole of eternity. [4] I as the Son am the light and wisdom, which goes forth from the fire of everlasting love. This mighty light is the everlasting most perfect self-consciousness and the brightest self-recognition of God and is the everlasting word in God through which everything there is has been created. [5] So that all this could have been made still requires the mightiest will of God, and this is the very Holy Spirit in God, through which the works and beings obtain their fullest existence. The Holy Spirit is the great pronounced word ‘It shall be!’ And it is what the love and wisdom in God have decided. [6] And see, all this is now here in Me: the love, the wisdom and the power! And therefore their only exist one God, and this is Me, and I only have taken on a body here, to reveal Myself better to you people of this earth, who I have created to My likeness, in your personality, as it is the case right now. (GGJ Book 16, chap. 1) 12. Three signs attest to it: the Word, the insight and the will, and these three must became one as I am one as Father, Son and holy Spirit. The Father is the eternal word, substantially. The Son is the reception of the word and hence eternal wisdom itself. The Spirit or will or power then proceeds from both and is likewise completely at one with Father and Son, and that all in the one Being which, in Myself, stands before you teaching you. (From Hell to Heaven vol. 2, chap. 254) “...Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.,” [Luke 22:69,70a]
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. [Psalm 110:1] "But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." [Acts 7:55-60] [10] And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: [11] They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; [12] And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. [13] But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? [14] Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb 1:10-14) {26:63} But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. {26:64} Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 18No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only,e,f who is at the Father’s side, has made him known. (John 1:18) "[13] The Lord, thus Jehovah, has certainly also been a Lord of David, thus also his Lord. And therefore, David did not express himself wrongly when he said: ‘My Lord spoke to my Lord.’ And when he spoke like that it is also clear that both Lords, who by way of expression are only apparently two Lords, are in fact one and the same Lord. You yourselves do also say: ‘My spirit spoke to the mind of my soul.’ Does the spirit of man not live in his soul and is consequently one with his soul, although it is as real life power in the soul more noble and more complete than the substantial soul itself? [14] In God there are also two distinct essential qualities and these are forming His initial substance and consequently are forming His undivided One initial Being. [15] The one distinct essential quality is love, as the eternal flame of life in God, and the other distinct essential quality is as a result of the brightest flame of life, the light of the wisdom in God. [16] If this is now so, and undeniable not different, is then the love in God not totally the same glory in God as His wisdom? [17] But when David said: ‘The Lord spoke to my Lord’, he only said that the endless merciful love in God penetrated its wisdom totally and said to it: ‘Go and sit at My right hand, become Word and Being, become one with all My life’s power, then everybody who is an enemy of the light must bow before the love life’s power in the light thereof.’ [18] However, what David said at that time in the spirit, stands now in a wonderful way embodied before you. Why do you close your eyes and do not want to realize that the great promise is being fulfilled and stands and speaks now before you, and is showing you the ways of the true life out and in God?” (17. The Lord asks the Pharisees what they think about Christ. The nature of man. About the triune being of God, GGJ Book 18) “...Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.,” [Luke 22:69,70a]
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. [Psalm 110:1] "But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." [Acts 7:55-60] [10] And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: [11] They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; [12] And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. [13] But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? [14] Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb 1:10-14) |
