So, address a few points to Elise H., as she desires it within her heart, for it pleases Me should one carry continuously with him a great and living desire for Me. 2. Behold, My dear woman, a circle, a perfectly rounded line surrounding a center! Behold, the center am I, and the circle is the great power of My eternal order, consisting of Me eternally. All beings stand within this circle. 3. This circle is further divided into seven concentric circles. Upon the circle closest to Me, the center, are situated the people of the Earth, My children in truth. Upon the second circle, going further from the center, dwell the people of all celestial bodies. Upon the third circle exist the animals of the Earth. Upon the fourth circle reside the animals of the celestial bodies. The fifth circle is occupied by the plants of all heavenly bodies, without distinction. Upon the sixth circle gather all the planets, moons and comets. And upon the seventh and final circle are enthroned all the suns, no distinction made between their size and magnitude. 4. Behold, this is My order! All life and being originate from the center. It makes its way through all circles up to the outermost one. Upon each circle, however, it reforms itself into another spirit, wherefrom My seven spirits continually arise and exist. For that is also why they go by the moniker: The seven spirits of God, though in and of themselves, they are nothing but organized powers of the center, working out of Me, according to their very own manner of order. 5. Now, think of the first, innermost circle. There, the woman's head is directed towards the center, yet the man's head is turned towards what lies beyond the circle, in the opposite direction to the woman. So here the question arises: Why is it so? Behold, behold, the life originating from the center, as it reaches the seventh, outermost circle, the realm of the suns, it bounces back and returns to the center, once again traveling through all circles as it goes. 6. But how does such a return of all life come about? Well, you see, man, in spirit, absorbs the returning life by his constitution and position. Once charged with the very substance of life, he allows it to be poured out into his well-fertilized opposite. Here it is nourished and born once again in essence, towards greater perfection. When it is completed thus, it returns to the center as a free and self-aware life. An unfinished life, however, is driven out once more to the ardent circle of the suns, so it may strengthen itself anew through all the seven spirits out of Me! 7. When you consider this truthful position in spirit, tell Me, who stands invariably closer to Me, the man or the woman? You simply must say: The woman, for she is placed within the innermost circle. But now draw a line in spirit from the center to the outermost circle, the blazing verge of the suns, what does this line denote? Behold, this line characterizes My great patience! 8. The fact that the woman resides within the innermost circle and is therefore situated closer to Me than the man, with his head turned towards what lies beyond the circle, what must be naturally inferred from this? Behold, this line, My patience, touching the woman first, must surely be shorter than it is with the man, whom the line comes across only later on, after it has already passed the woman! 9. It is established thus in My eternal order, and so, what rule follows for the woman? See and hear, the woman must therefore be much more willing than any man would be, and I will visit upon her a judging punishment much sooner than I would upon the man! 10. As the pious and willing woman may be a root of all life, as was the case with Mary in the flesh, so may the disobedient woman be an agent of utter perdition. That is why My line of patience is significantly shorter for women than it is for men. 11. Take heed of this, My dear woman, for yourself and your daughters, so you may remain healthy in both body and spirit, forevermore. Amen.

Let go of the Thoughts regarding the Roman Cardinal Sins September 17, 1856 The Lord says: 1. Tell our young friend C. with these few lines that I have had him faithfully told and now tell him Myself: Banish all that, ever since your infancy, has admonished you as if you could offend Me by any sin, even by the so-called sinful thoughts, those that regularly come about voluntarily and disappear again the same way. 2. Have I ever drawn up a register of sins, in the manner of Ignatius of Loyola, and imposed it upon the people, to have it be strictly observed? Only the love for God and for one's neighbour is commanded by Me, and everything that goes against this truth is forbidden. Surely none can be displeased by this, but merely made wholly blissful. 3. I have not created man to pour out My wrath upon him, but instead to tell him: Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden, for I will give you rest! 4. Contemplate this diligently and let go of even the very last spark of your thoughts regarding the Roman cardinal sins, and never again shall you lapse into melancholy, for you will always be wholly cheerful. He who truly knows and loves Me simply cannot ever truly grow somber, even in the most bitter moments of earthly life; for many of the most evident proofs must have already convinced him that I have never left anyone dissatisfied or devoid of blessings who has continuously and vigorously turned to Me in his love, regarding whatever is truly good and beneficial for him. And how much more you will be satisfied and blessed, for I love you in particular, and I know your heart very well, as well as what you have done for Me in My servant and other poor people, out of pure love for Me, even with your somewhat limited financial means, all of which I will compensate you for many times over - already here on this Earth, and one day over there in My kingdom, and in My house, indescribably. 5. But you will find all your occasional doubts resolved in 'John' anyway; just read it diligently, for therein I communicate to you, My youngest and therefore dearest children, everything that I have not yet communicated to even the archangels, except to Raphael, who had already taken on the flesh later on. 6. Be cheerful in My Name, for I, your true Father, full of love, wants it that way with you, and fear not the Roman sins... Amen.

The Effects of Curses and Blessings Chapter 112... Starting Verse 10 10. As this people departed, Adam wept and sent blessing after blessing after nearly every one of their steps. 11. When Abedam (the Lord) noticed this, he commended him and said: "Adam, if instead of cursing the lowlands, you had always acted as you do now, in the spirit of My love and mercy, then truly, the plains and the deep valleys of the Earth would not have become hell!" 12. But since you always found more justification in cursing than in love, therefore it has come to be that the people in the lowlands behave as you have just heard from the mouth of Lamel, in a new testimony, which, as living proof thereof, now lies here to My feet as well. 13. O Adam, all the things you could have spared Me and all of creation! 14. However, because you have always found more pleasure in cursing than in blessing, behold, the consequences now lie before both you and Me, and will remain upon the Earth until the very end of its existence! 15. Truly, I tell you, no matter how great and severe your first major mistake was, when you forgot My commandment and allowed yourself to be enchanted and utterly deceived by your own serpent, whereupon both Heaven and Earth were turned upside down; despite everything, all this could have been solved sooner and more easily than the fact that you continuously cursed the wretched lowlands, because of the iniquity of Cain! 16. But I tell you: Cain's misdeed was truly malign, yet it was still barely a dewdrop compared to the whole sea, compared to what you did to Me at the very beginning, when you sought to rise as a Lord above Me as the head! 17. But could you ever accuse Me of cursing you for it? 18. Indeed, My inviolable holiness, which you so grossly infringed upon, did curse the soil of the Earth, so it would bear you thistles and thorns. 19. However, My great love for you soon alleviated the curse from the soil of the Earth, and it once again blossomed into a new garden for you, as you have surely noticed for a long time now! 20. Behold, however, as I removed the curse from the Earth, it was exactly then that you were most diligent in cursing all the plains and valleys, including their inhabitants, and you have managed, during your lifetime already, that such fruits have sprouted from the soil you cursed, of which you see a new testimony lying here, at My very feet! 21. I have sent Farak, an angel blessed by Me, to be a guide for the inhabitants of the lowlands. Instead of your cursing, could you not have done the same, in My name?! 22. And the lowlands now blossomed more gloriously than all these highlands! 23. O Adam, Adam! Look closely at this girl now lying at My feet, purer of heart than the midday sun! 24. What has happened to this little one's parents, as a consequence of your curse, behold, will again come to pass in the future, to the son of a virgin, and this virgin I will invigorate with the spirit of the one who lies at My feet here! 25. O, consider what you have done here with your curse! However, it is what it is now. Therefore, let us look to the future, and maybe even forget the abomination of the past! 26. Adam, rescind all your curses, and give a blessing in return! Give My blessing in return, for every evil deed has been your work from the beginning! Therefore, curse no more henceforth, and bless everything instead! Amen." Chapter 113 1. When Adam heard such talk from Abedam, he was grieved and knew not what to say or do in response. 2. He thought to and fro within himself, seeking the great, decisive and all-balancing 'why'. But all his efforts were in vain, he failed to find the great 'why'; and already he was again on the verge of throwing everything out and away from himself, beginning to curse himself once more, now that he considered himself to be the sole origin of all evil, malice and falsehood. 3. But Abedam grasped his hand, looked him firmly in the eyes, and after a while said to him: 4. "Adam! What a man you are! Is it your wish to become a stone? Is life truly something so contemptible to you, that you would want to curse it within yourself, killing yourself thereby through and through, both in spirit and body, as well as in all the children I have had come forth from you?! 5. Adam, until nearly this very moment you have spent your long-lasting earthly life with cursing, according to your keen justice, and you were satisfied with it, because you always thought that I am pleased with your judicially inexorable severity, and with your fatherly cursing against those of your children who were weak enough to violate your will carelessly. 6. But now, as I wish to purify you, which is why I reveal to you all your shortcomings, visualizing it to you and all your children, in order to make you fully capable of receiving life from Me, - now though, as you learn that I am not at all pleased with cursing, nor with judgment, but only with the sole living love, you are furious within your heart and weary of life! 7. Only now, after previously having judged nearly every single little speck of dust of the Earth, out of pure righteousness, do you wish to curse yourself, to take revenge on Me in a certain way, because, through My great love, mercy and patience, I am in opposition to your old order of judgment! 8. O Adam, Adam, I tell you: You do try My love and patience sorely! 9. Consider how long I have been all too patient with you. Consider how, back when not a single sun blazed in the whole of infinity, and the Earth was hardly even thought of by Me, your spirit, which I created for the purest love and sought to make free, to be an independent being before Me, for My greatest pleasure and delight, - already then your unyieldingness had Me mighty worried, and you began to stretch My patience excessively. 10. What eternally lengthy stretches of time have passed since I called you into being! 11. And how much My patience has been stretched to infinity throughout this series of eternities, all for your sake! 12. Behold all these innumerable stars; count them, these endless, great and firm celestial masses, filling nearly the entirety of visible infinity! What are they? 13. Adam, do you know what they are?! - O Adam, Adam, see and hear: 14. Every grain of sand, of which any heavenly body consists, is, in regards to you, an acid test for My patience, each lasting more than a thousand years, measured according to the swift passage of times, in and of itself. 15. Now count the many endless worlds in all the endless regions of space; then count all the grains of sand, of whose endless multiplicity they consist, as of atoms strung together; then think of each and every atom as a thousand years of My affectionate, divine patience, always present with you! 16. When you have thoroughly considered this within yourself, tell Me how much longer I shall endure you, that is until you have altogether become a being according to the meaning of My eternal love for you. I will accept whatever deadline you suggest! 17. But woe to you should you resort to suicide. I tell you: No moment as swift as this, when I would hand you and all of creation over to the fire of My wrath, with the exception of the faithful few! 18. Truly, I will have eternal patience with every sinner, yet not even a moment with one who resorts to suicide! 19. Therefore, turn around and realize what I have done to you, what I am doing right now, and what I will do to all your children, and I shall turn to you and lift you up to Me, out of the mire of your prolonged blindness, and give you life! 20. But curse no more, for the Earth is already provided for abundantly with your judgment, yes even for a hundred thousand years. 21. Understand this now, and turn to Me completely. Amen." Chapter 114 1. When Adam heard another such talk from Abedam, at once his heart was filled with remorse, and only now he saw the state of himself and his order, and how entirely different things are with the order of Jehovah, who now visibly revealed to him His eternal order through Abedam. 2. Once he beheld it, he fell down face first before Abedam, and began to utter the following words from the deepest depths of his being, pleading: 3. O Jehovah, You most holy Father, visible within Abedam before me, behold, two Adams lie here before You in the dust of their utter nothingness; one is a general Adam, and the other but a particular Adam, complete unto himself. 4. O Jehovah, You most holy Father! Graciously remove from me the general Adam, and let me live the remainder of my time by myself, so it may please You! 5. For only now do I see it clearly: It would be utterly impossible for me to lead the general Adam back to the path of Your eternal holy order, though it was I alone who led him astray, unto the path of ruin and downfall. 6. Therefore, gaze upon me most graciously, as the simple person that I am, lying before You at the very bottom of all nothingness, and lift it up to the light, and thus to unity with You! 7. But as far as my former generality is concerned, graciously remove this endless burden from me, and do with it as it may please You. 8. O Jehovah, if You would take it upon Your shoulder! 9. Your holy will be done, always and forever! Amen." 10. As these words emenated from Adam, the natural sun set, but Abedam allowed Adam to behold another sun rising within him, and Adam perceived a radiant woman standing upon this sun, trampling the head of a serpent beneath her feet as it wound around the entirety of the sun. 11. Abedam soon bent down to Adam, touching him and raising him up. And when Adam finally straightened up, Abedam took him by the hand once again, and said unto him: 12. "Adam, what did you see just now?" And Adam replied: 13. "O Jehovah, I saw a new sun rising within me, yet despite its heavenly beauty, a mighty serpent entwisted it almost entirely! 14. Shortly thereafter I saw a great, radiant woman descend upon this sun, and this woman did not fear the serpent, and right away she trod upon the serpent's head with utmost might. 15. Yet when the serpent endeavored to overpower the mighty woman, to bite her heel, behold, the woman hurled an apple at the serpent's head, and the serpent snapped at the apple, and bit into it instead. 16. In response, Adam was silent. Thrice he smote his own breast mightily, and then said: 17. "O Jehovah, this was my great fault before You!" 18. But Abedam answered him, saying: "Adam, that which you have just asked for, I have done already, as you have seen within yourself! 19. Behold, the general Adam has been taken from you wholly and completely, and now you are as every child out of yourself! 20. And so, care now for this final remnant of your being, and live a simple life in My order, in the love of the Father! 21. Regarding the general Adam, however, behold, I have taken him upon Myself as the sun of all heavens, celestial suns and worlds, as you have seen when the serpent entwisted My sun! 22. And this girl from the lowlands, laying before Me, is the woman you saw standing atop the sun, crushing the serpent's head! 23. Yet not her body, but her soul and spirit you must gaze upon! 24. This girl has suffered more in the lowlands than any human being has ever suffered. Therefore, in the future, she shall receive compensation, from whose greatness all of infinity will recoil in awe! 25. Understand this, Adam, you who are now of a more simple nature, for this will come to pass truly, truly, truly! Understand it! Amen." Chapter 115 1. After this speech of Abedam, Adam and all others present were so moved that they began to weep, brimming with a most fervent love and true, innermost gratitude, and finally, Adam exclaimed: 2. O man, O man! What could you be to the love of the eternal holy Father, if your own free will had not made you unholy before Him! 3. How infinitely good You are, O holy Father, and how far we must have fallen before You, for Your eternal love is merely compelled and only able to save us through a great and unending mercy! 4. Yes, only now, only now, only now do I realize what You, O most holy Father, have done for us, what You are doing right now, and what You will do, forevermore! 5. Let me cry out, that my voice may be heard in even the farthest reaches of the world. Let me proclaim as all the thunders of the world. Let me vigorously proclaim it to all creatures, to all worlds, and to all the heavens, what infinitely great things the Lord, the infinitely holy God, has done for us endlessly fallen sinners! 6. Hear it, all you heavens, you sun, you moon and Earth, hear it from my mouth: 7. God, the Eternal, the Infinite, the Holy, the Almighty God! O heart, you my heart, do not hold back the voice of my tongue. Let me cry out with all my strength! - He, He before whom thousands upon thousands of years are but a most fleeting moment, He before whose breath all the endless spaces tremble, and all the eternities sink back into nothingness in greatest awe... - He, He who, with but a single glance, calls forth thousands upon thousands of suns into being and has them pass away again in an instant... - He, He Himself, from the depths of His Holiness, has gazed upon us, the most unworthy of creatures, forgetting His own endless holiness for our sake. We have fallen far from Him, due to our greatest voluntary wickedness, and so to grant us His great mercy, He filled the whole of infinity with innumerable steps, so we might climb up and make our way back to Him once again! 8. Yet His endless love and mercy deemed this path too unendingly difficult to overcome for the fallen ones, and thus He forgot even more of His endless Holiness. He descended on the broad wings of His Omnipotence along all the most endless steps, all the way down to us, as He is here now before us, in the color and shape of a man, just as we are, to spare us, for the time being, the path that can never be wholly ascended. For us, the very last of all His creatures, the fallen ones, who have voluntarily turned away from Him in a most wicked manner, becoming the very highest, the most unthinkable. 9. Hear, hear it, all you eons of life poured out of Him! O God, O God, O God! You great, holy God, my languid, mortal tongue hardly dares to utter it! All this, to become for us sinners of sinners the only true, most loving, all-merciful, holy Father! 10. Not yet enough, as He is now before us, but a Father, as my spirit has grasped it. One day, out of supreme love for us most lowly ones, He will take upon Himself the eternally abiding sinful form of our flesh in which we have fallen before Him, the eternally holy One, to draw us even closer to Himself; to become for us a savior, a guide, and a brother most wise! 11. No, no, no, this is too much! Abedam! Abedam! Abedam! You infinitely holy, most loving Father! Who and what are we then, that You should be so incomprehensibly gracious to us, we who are most worthless before You throughout and within all Your infinity?" 12. Here the elevated Abedam interrupted Adam, saying unto him: "Listen, Adam, at last you realize who I am and what I am doing! 13. But I tell you, as you are, so continue to be, and already you shall have eternal life within you. 14. In your greatness you were once indeed called to become a dear brother to My heart, a teammate and most intimate comrade of My eternal, infinite perfections. 15. However, since, as the spiritual Adam, you did not wish to become thus for Me in the great simplicity of your being that emerged from Me, you shall nevertheless become thus for Me in all your children, for which purpose My heart once had longingly and gloriously called you to be from within itself. 16. Do you understand this? Behold, that is why I do all this, and already have for eternity, as once to the greatest, My heart now turned to the smallest, to exalt it above all! But now, nothing more! 17. Evening has arrived, so let us go home, to those who eagerly await our return! 18. But you, Lamel, take the girl and carry her before Me, as a great sign of victory! Amen."

Chapter – John 5:42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you Scripture Explanations Jesus’ exposition of several different bible passages Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 27.02.1844 Revelations with extensive explanations and interpretations of many important Bible passages by Jesus Himself, which have been difficult to interpret up until now. An important book, especially for those who compare the new revelations with the Bible, to check, if they correspond spiritually and for those who want to understand the bible scriptures better. Chapter 37 John 5:42: “But I know you; you do not have the love of God within you!” 1. “But I know you; you do not have the love of God within you!” – This verse fits the end of the addition perfectly. 2. I said the following to the Jews; in them lies the dead letter of the law. The works of the ceremony, the works of the shining, they meant more to them than the living one Himself, who said such to them. 3. That is why they were beaten with blindness and only saw a normal and ordinary human in the one who was alive, and might only be marveled at a remarkable miracle, sometimes even at a wise word, when they were around and managed to witness these things; and if they weren’t around, they wouldn’t believe it that I did these things or say these words, and looked for every possible way to be suspicious about it. Whatever they couldn’t reach with their naturalizing or denying, because of that they thought of me as a possessed one who works for the devil through his power. 4. Why did they not recognize the Lord of life, even though it was the will and intention of the Lord for them to recognize me? – The reason for this lays in the text, which says: “And the love is not within you!” 5. Why can one not recognize the Lord without the love? – One cannot do so without the love for the same reason why a blind person cannot see what’s around him, or why a deaf person cannot hear what his friend is saying! 6. The love is the life; however, the life, on its own, can only see and hear for itself, – because death is not able to do so. And so, the Jews could not recognize the Lord of life among them because they did not have the life of love within them, which is a free life out of God, while every other life is only a judged one, and, in comparison to the life of love, is death in its purest form. 7. Whoever does not have a life of love is nothing but a vain machine, which only works and moves because of the activities of the world, while his sight, hearing and feeling is purely mechanical, and thus, can never lift itself above the judged sphere of the judged limitations. Only the life of love is a truly independent one, and can therefore destroy all the barriers on its own, so that it can swing way up above to the one who is its innermost reason and basis. 8. Nobody can see what one has within oneself when he is in the natural sphere; how could someone see and recognize my being when he has nothing of it in his heart?! 9. That is why I say to you: Let everything go, – only keep the love, so you will recognize what the Jews did not recognize, and see what they could not see! 10. There are many in this world who have no life within themselves! Therefore, they think the shadow is reality, even though he is nothing; Me however, I who am always among everybody, they do not see and recognize, because they have no love!! 11. There are even people who search where there’s nothing to find; but wherever there’s life, being and shining, there they cannot see and recognize! 12. These people still weigh the diamonds together with the pebbles in a weighing pan! But why the pebbles weight right next to the diamond? Why marvel at the rubbish from afar, all the while neglectfully passing by the gold in ones own house? 13. It’s not enough to only know the value of the gold, – instead, one must also learn to vividly respect the gold before the rubbish, even if it comes from afar! Only the ones who have the complete love can do so; but whoever swifts back and forth in between, cannot do it and won’t be able to for a long time. He will fare like the Jews, who were also not able to distinguish the Lord from a regular human. 14. Therefore, I will tell you and thus remind you, that I have given a lot; but only the ones that have love within them will recognize it as a pure gift from me! 15. Whoever calculates in the love and counts what he does and what he gives, I will do the same to him, – and the calculator will not be free and the counter not legitimate before me, as long as he has not banned the calculating and counting from himself! So, the love must be free and should not get advice from the head for her inner activities! 16. I will reward the wise donor with wisdom; but for the free donor of life, I myself am the reward! Everybody who is not active in the free love will not see the face of the Lord, until he starts to do so! 17. This, I say, the eternally faithful, the true, the first and the last, as father in all love, in complete consideration, to you!

Scripture explanations – Jesus’ exposition of several different bible passages Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 26.02.1844 1. And having rolled up the scroll, He gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of the whole congregation were fixed upon Him. 2. My dear children! This text only shows a natural action, which necessarily had to follow after the reading out of the prophet Isaiah. But since in every deed of the Lord also lies an inner and an innermost motive, so even within this seemingly natural action lies such a motive; and within this motive also must lie an unmistakable criterion, through which the full Divinity of Christ is certified, as well as all His deeds for all times and for all eternity. 3. That this is correct, we will now bring as clear as possible before everyone’s eyes through the contemplation and comparison of this text with the subsequent circumstances of time, and therefore listen… 4. Jesus read out of the prophet in a synagogue. – What does this mean? 5. The ‘Synagogue’ means the world. The Lord, who is standing and reading out of the prophet, states that He is always vigilantly guarding, as well as overlooking all circumstances and secrets, and that He is not revealing His Word to the world, but He is giving it in a veiled, natural sense. For the ‘Prophet’ means the hidden in the natural sense, and the Lord therefore shows, that all these hidden things cannot be found anywhere else revealed and fulfilled than in Himself! 6. As the Lord had read out of the scroll, He rolled it up, and gave it to the servant and sat down. But He sat down, and all the eyes and ears of the synagogue were fixed upon Him. – What does this mean? 7. The Lord rolled up the scroll means, that He also sealed the spiritual meaning of the Word for the posterity. ‘Then He gives the scroll to the servant of the synagogue’ means as much as… He gives the hidden wisdom to the one who is working in the temple, which in the future is the heart of man. 8. Thereafter, the Lord is sitting down to rest, and all eyes and ears are fixed upon Him. – This act stands as an example and corresponds to the state, which can be found with men in the world since the ascension up until now, since the Lord is resting for the outer world like after a work. 9. Many eyes and ears are fixed upon Him, but He is silent and cannot be seen in a bodily activity, but like in His Sanctuary patiently resting, He can only be seen with the eyes of faith. But why? – Because men only look at Him with their eyes and ears, or their intellectual curiosity, but not with their heart! 10. But the Lord still talks a little bit through the Words, for He says… ‘Now it has been fulfilled before your eyes, what the prophet had spoken of.’ – Look, this is also the case with you, for after the long rest My Spirit has also come upon you, because you have sought Him, and now He reveals to you the scroll, which the servants always had kept in their chambers, with its meaning concealed. 11. These servants are equal to the one in the natural meaning, to whom the rolled up scroll was given. This refers to all those, whom you call ‘priests’, no matter what church they belong to. These servants will not receive the scroll in a revealed manner, as long as they are servants of the synagogue. 12. But every human being, who is a true servant in the new temple of his heart, also gets the scroll in its sealed state and not revealed, but if He is a faithful servant in this temple, and sweeps and cleanses it and esteems the holy Scroll, there the Lord will come, and sit down in this temple, and there will be peace and tranquility. And if from all parts of the heart eyes and ears are fixed upon the Lord, He then will say… ‘Now the Spirit of the Lord has come upon you, and the holy Scroll is revealed and fulfilled in your living temple!” 13. Behold, this is the ever so simple and clear meaning of this very unremarkable text! 14. I tell you… One might strive and search as long as he wants, in order to unveil this Scroll; he may ask all men and angels, but still he will not accomplish anything, – for I alone am the door! 15. Of what use is it to man, if he asks himself… ‘Do I have an eternal life within me?’ – and then receives the answer to that… ‘The eternal life is only a mistery, a doubt. I have nothing else within myself, than the desire for it.’ 16. Question… Who can be satisfied with such a consolation? Is it not the same with that philosopher, with whom the worldly wise comfort themselves… ‘Does My thinking ‘I’ continue to exist, then I win, – and if there is no continuation, I also win; ’cause for the inexistence the plus and minus has the same size.’ 17. But I ask again… Who can be satisfied with such a consolation, when one knows the value of life? Can it be indifferent to the living one, whether he is or not? But how can a human being, who exists, actually praise the inexistence anyway, because it is impossible, that he knows, how the inexistence is constituted?! 18. Everybody can easily recognize here, how blind such a scientist must be, if he consoles himself with a completely impossible inexistence in the middle of an infinite existence, in which no inexistence can occur! 19. Do you think, that within My infinite existence an annihilation is possible or a place, in which the nothingness is at home?! 20. Even the natural world shows, as far as you can see into the depths of My creation, that there is the exact opposite of a place of nothingness; for there you can either see other worlds, or great spaces filled with ether of light, and with criss-cross prevailing forces out of Me! – Question… Is that nothing? 21. I do not need to stretch this sentence any further, in order to show the foolishness of it. But now I will add the real challenge for everybody, how one can investigate, if a nothingness exists, and so I say… 22. Fly through the spaces of infinity with your thoughts! If you will find a space, into which you cannot enter with your thought, there you may look for the nothingness! But you can be absolutely sure that you will never ever succeed with this attempt! Because where your thoughts can go, there is existence; but where will be a place which the thoughts cannot reach?! I do not know this place, – and therefore, a worldly wise will know it even less! 23. Therefore, do not hold onto the vain searching and foolish experiencing. For that will never bear any fruit for you! Do not make your own path, which is so easy, more difficult in vain, but everyone shall come to Me and they will find everything in its fullness, which they will never achieve on any other path in all eternity; for I alone am the door, for all times as well as for eternity! Amen.

Chapter – John 16:33 These I have spoken to you, that in Me you might have peace. In the world you have pressure, but take courage, I have overcome the world! Scripture explanations – Jesus’ exposition of several different bible passages Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 23.02.1844 1. These I have spoken to you, that in Me you might have peace. In the world you have pressure, but take courage, I have overcome the world! 2. This text belongs to the very transparent ones, and its spiritual meaning can be grasped by everyone already in the literal sense. So then, I will explain the meaning of this text to you with a few words, and you’ll understand its correct spiritual meaning completely with these few words; and therefore listen! 3. Everything that I now tell you, is also of this kind, that it has to give you the true, inner peace in every circumstance of your life by your Love for Me , if you consider these spoken things in a fairly active manner. 4. The world would like to beset you from all sides, but it cannot, because it has been overcome by Me. So when you have Me within you, by your love for Me, then you also have the eternal overcomer of the world within you. But the world has experienced My Power; that is why it may and can not harm a single hair on those, who have My Peace truly within them. 5. However, as soon as somebody wants to rise up from this peace and wants to fight the world on his own, then he can only blame himself, when he gets captured and abused by the world. But whoever truly stays in My Peace, they will be secure for eternity, and no worldly breeze will harm a single hair on them. 6. For sure, some people will say here… ‘Oh Lord! Look at Your apostles, and Your disciples, and many of the first Christians, and also later, some eager fighters for the pure gospel have become martyrs, and the world took vengeance in a most horrendous way on those, who were full of Your peace! Why, oh Lord, did Your peace not protect them from the claws of the world? You yourself have said before Your suffering that the ruler of the world is judged! How then was it possible for the judged one to have such power, that he could fill the world in such a way with indignation against Your peacekeepers?” 7. This question is vain enough, and whoever does know history only a little bit, will certainly realize, that all the martyrs, starting with the apostles and all the way through to the later times, have not died as a martyr on account of any coercion or legitimate assignment of Me, but out of free will, springing forth from a heroism of love, because their Master has been crucified Himself! 8. I tell you… Every martyr could have spread My gospel without becoming a martyr. But those, who spread it, knew Me, and they had the eternal life before their eyes, and therefore they did not want to wander around in the world much longer, rather they could barely wait for the moment, when their flesh would be taken from them, so that they could go, where I preceded them! 9. John however, had the greatest love for Me; therefore, he was not afraid of persecution in the world, and he rather wanted to consume every last drop of it, than to beg of Me some of his earhly lifetime. He was completely satisfied with My order, while many others were beggars, and they rather wanted to let themselves be tortured with a humiliating martyrdom, than to work some more years for My Kingdom. 10. But because everybody can receive of Me, whatever he asks of Me in a sincere and devout manner, I could not take back My word from these first witnesses, which says… ‘Whatever you ask of Me, I will give you!’ 11. From this perspective we can clearly see, that My word was not in need of martyrs; for I have promised the one and always valid witness, My Holy Spirit, to all those, who accept My teachings and live according to it, and this witness is the remaining one, while the blood of the first martyrs has become traceless already for all later times and even historically. 12. But if this Spirit is an eternal witness, why should I ever demand a blood witness from My followers?! Whoever wants to become a blood witness himself, he shall become one… But nobody should believe, that he is doing Me a favour with that, but everyone, who does that, he does it for his own benefit, not for Mine! 13. It is, as if a father would say to his children, while they are still clothed well… ‘I will give you wonderful new clothes, once these ones are worn out!’. And then, some children are getting tempted by the hope and preference for the new clothes, and they do not look after the old ones anymore. Once their current clothes are raddled, then their father will for sure give them the promised ones. But some of these children, who love their father more than their clothes, still spare the old ones, because they don’t want to throw their father into expenses before the time. 14. Even though, there can be no talk about certain expenses with Me, there are some other expenses involved, namely… to consider the accomplishment of a little mess. For I have given every man a certain goal of life out of My order, and this goal does neither consist of a sword, nor of fire. For the death through a sword and through fire is a judgment. But whoever acts in his own will and might, disregarding My order, should be prepared to let himself be judged to a certain extent, depending on how much he has acted prematurely in My order. 15. Daniel did not want to die; that is why he was kept alive in the lion’s den, and in the same manner the disciples in the fiery furnace, and many similar examples. And look, on all those no hair has been harmed, and many thousands of My lovers have not been harmed either in any way, because they kept the power of My peace in their hearts, unbothered. But everyone, who wanted to rise above this peace, they also had to taste the lack of peace in the world. 16. Surely, some will say here as well… ‘If so, we better let the world just be the world with all its ugly activities, and every good person shall continue to live, without worrying about the world, and if everybody does that, will the world then not be filled to the stars with all sorts of atrocities?! 17. Good, I say; check your math! Since the times of the apostles, there surely have been an uncountable amount of zealots who wanted to faithfully change the world into a better place with a glowing sword in their hand! Streams of blood have been shed! Ask yourself, did it have any success?! Go and look at the world now, and it will answer your question very clearly from all sides! 18. This great number of zealots should have left behind such a legacy, that according to that, the world would have to be a paradise by now, – and nonetheless, the world in your time is ten times worse than it was at Noah’s time! 19. Why then does David say… Oh Lord, how absolutely nothing are all men compared to You, and all help of men is of no use at all. David said this, because he knew Me, but you talk differently, because you do not know Me like David did! 20. Do you think I don’t know what the world is doing, that I am too mild to chastise the world for its crimes? – I tell you… Believe something else, and leave the guidance of the world up to Me! 21. Whoever pulls out the sword, will also die by the sword. With open violence, nobody will ever be able to change anything in the world. Because where the world is seeing violence, it will return violence, and in this way, one people continuously strangles the other one. 22. But whoever wants to fight against the world, he must do so with secret weapons, and these weapons are My love and My peace within you! But first, everybody has to conquer his own world within himself, only then will he be able to victoriously use these weapons against the outer world. 23. Indeed, if one is not a master of the world within himself, the less he will become one outwardly! However, anyone who still feels within himself a fiery zeal, similar to a curse, that one is not yet finished with his own world; for this zeal still originates from the secret duel between My peace and the world within man. 24. For it is the world, who strives and judges and calls fire from the heavens, to cunningly disguise itself for My cause; but My spirit and My peace does not strive, but works mightily in secret only and completely unnoticed by all in the world, and it has no other exterior sign than the works of love and in its appearance humility. But on account of true love and humility, nobody, as far as I know, has ever been judged by the world since My John. 25. See, therein lies the true, inner peace, and also therein lies that mighty victory over the world, which I Myself have fought for and won! Therefore, consider this explanation, so you will conquer the world within yourself as well as every other world, always and eternally by My name and My peace! Amen.

Chapter – John 7:38 Whoever believes in Me, out of his innermost shall flow rivers of living waters. Scripture explanations – Jesus’ exposition of several different bible passages Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 19.02.1844 1. Whoever believes in Me, out of his innermost shall flow rivers of living waters. 2. This text is given like a mousetrap and it is made like a pit, with which lions, panthers and tigers are caught. It is also like a cornerstone, over which many shall stumble at night. And I say… Whoever stumbles against it and falls, will have a lot of trouble getting up again! 3. Why is that? Now and then, I demanded faith and I preached everywhere love through deeds and words. I said… ‘If you had faith, you would be able to move mountains!’ 4. I also said, what the current text says. Nevertheless I tell you again… I did not say, what the text says, for I said… ‘Be doers, and not vain listeners of My Word!’ 5. I also said, that those, who say to Me ‘Lord, Lord!’ – meaning… they believe in the Son of God – will not enter the Kingdom of God, but only those, who do the Will of My Father! 6. I also said… ‘Whoever lives according to My Word, is the one who loves Me. But whoever loves Me, to him I will come in My Fullness and reveal Myself to him!’ 7. I also said… ‘I give you only one commandment, that you should love each other, just like I love you! That is, how you will be truly recognized as My disciples!’ 8. Now I ask… What shall man do? Should he make do with faith alone, which is recommended, or should he only hold on to love and believe nothing else, as what his love for Me gives to him, and which he has obtained through deeds, done according to My Word? 9. Because I have invoked the deeds of love as the only valid criteria, through which one can recognize, if My teachings are of human or divine origin; for I said it… ‘Whoever will act according to My Word, will recognize, if My teachings are from men or God!’ 10. Now, what does it say about that… ‘Whoever believes in Me, out of his innermost shall flow rivers of living waters.’ The living waters also represent the living wisdom out of heaven, which also must be regarded as a valid criteria for the Divinity of My Word! 11. Now we have two things to examine in front of us, where the one always finds his adversary in the other. For in the saying of ‘Lord, Lord!’ – is understood the complete faith in the Son of Man; but there it says, that through this faith the heavenly kingdom will not be obtained, – and in the current text there is a promise, that who ever believes in Me, out of his innermost shall flow rivers of living waters! 12. Now, the question is… Was I a double teacher? Or was I one of those, who floats with the tide, and therefore preach in a crowd of believers from the sole value of faith and in a crowd of active people I would preach the sole value of the deed? If so, I would obviously contradict Myself! 13. The Pharisees strongly believed in the statutes of Moses, and that for timely and also for spiritual reasons back then, – and still they were all attacked by Me in the most sensitive way, because of their disbelief! 14. Why was I not content with their first belief, and why did I attack them, since they did not want to believe in Me, and they were called ‘evil doers’ by Me, because they lived in the literal sense according to the law, and did not want to turn themselves to My Teaching? 15. Why did I let the Pharisee leave the temple unjustified, even though he was always acting according to the law, and let the sinful tax collector leave it justified? 16. Why did I not respect the statutes of Moses in the first place by not regarding the Sabbath? Why did I Myself annoy the Pharisees by that and taught Myself… ‘Woe to anyone, who annoys his neighbor!?’ 17. Yes, I even have given a teaching, which states, that a man should remove a limb, that angers him, and enter the heavenly kingdom in a crippled form, instead of entering hell as a whole being! Tell Me… How does this all fit together? – A big pile of contradictions lies before you; how will you bring all of them to a common denominator? 18. I tell you… You will never find a way out of this labyrinth on your own. However, I will untie the knot with ease, like the hero of Macedonia! And therefore listen now… 19. There is a difference between what I simply said and what I have commended. But there also is a difference between saying and saying… One saying is like a negation and the other is like an affirmation. A negating one is like a natural one, – an affirmative one is like a spiritual one. There is no commandment in the natural sense; but there is one in the spiritual sense… 20. Therefore, when it says… ‘I did not say’, it means as much as… ‘I have not commended it’ and when it says… ‘I did say it’, it means as much as… ‘I have commended it.’ 21. But when I was talking about faith, I always meant the living faith, the faith coupled with love, but an isolated faith I always rejected. 22. That’s why I already told you before… ‘I did not say… ‘Whoever believes in Me, out of his innermost shall flow rivers of the living waters!’ That means as much as… ‘Nobody will reach the light through faith alone, but only through the deed according to My Word!’ 23. But as I say here… ‘Whoever believes in Me, out of his innermost shall flow rivers of living waters!’, there I say as much as… ‘Whoever has a living faith coupled with love, will be introduced to the wisdom of heaven, and if you are able to think just a little for yourselves, you will easily realize, that with this only the lowest level of heaven is promised!’ 24. But that no level of heaven is promised for faith alone, your own experience has taught you that! Because you have also believed in Me since your childhood, but ask yourselves, how many drops of any living water have flown out of your body! Did you bring it so far with your forty year old faith, that you have evidently found the immortality of your inner being completely, on account of any drops of living water within you?! 25. I have already granted you so much of the most authentic living waters, and still you are not aware of so many things about your continuing existence after your body’s death! – But I am not a liar; I have promised rivers of living waters upon faith! Now believers, where are these rivers? 26. From your own experience you can sufficiently derive, that I, as the eternal Truth and Wisdom, certainly didn’t mean faith alone in this current text, but only the faith, which was known to all of My disciples, namely faith coupled with love for God and love for your brothers and sisters! 27. Because faith alone cannot bring forth anything fruitful for the eternal life, likewise a husband cannot beget children with and out of himself. He must marry a woman, and only then, by way of his burning love, he will be able to beget children with his wife. 28. The children are the natural meaning of the rivers of living waters that flow from the loins of the body. Furthermore, the body or loins in this text convey as a material image, the deed of love itself, and the whole text in its revealed state says… ‘Whoever believes in Me within his heart, his deeds will be fruitful for his eternal life!’ 29. From this very clear meaning we can see ever so clearly, that I have always negated faith alone, but never affirmed it; because otherwise, I would have contradicted Myself in a most shameful and obvious way before the eyes and ears of the whole world! 30. So whenever in My Word it talks about faith, you always have to understand it as if you were talking about a purse. When someone says… ‘I have given him my purse!’, the ‘being filled’ is self-evident, because an empty purse is of no use to anyone. It’s the same with the faith, looked at it from My perspective. I never understand the empty faith, but always the one filled with love. 31. That’s why I say it once again… I did not say… ‘Whoever has faith in Me, out of his body will flow rivers of living waters!”, but I said… ‘Whoever has faith in Me, out of his body will flow rivers of living waters!’ 32. With the first negation, the simple and empty faith is understood, which never gives even a single drop of living water; with the second case however, the filled faith is understood, where the rivers of living waters will surely follow, – and that is, which I affirm… ‘Who acts according to My Father’s Will, he will recognize, where the teaching comes from! 33. The Father is the love, and this love never settles for pretense, but only for the real existence. Of what use is the dull lantern shine of your sole faith in the infinity of creation? You may try to grab left and right, and look up and down, but the only things, that come towards you, are faint rays; but far away are the things, and from far away you receive nothing but faint rays. Because the dream is enough for the sleeper. He considers it as reality, for as long as he sleeps; but when he wakes up, he is looking for reality and firmness everywhere. 34. But what happens, if man sleeps throughout his entire earthly life and thinks the delusions are reality? What will happen, when he wakes up from this earthly dream life after the removal of his body? What will he grasp after? What will he rely on? He’ll be surrounded by night on all sides. From where will he take the light to brighten up the most obscure night around him? 35. I say therefore… It is better for one to feel captivated by all kinds of doubts, for he proves that he has an alert spirit, which is still in the night. He has realized the invalidity of the dream images early, and he is calling for the day within himself with great longing. 36. But the dreamer knows nothing about his own night; he is a Lord, doing whatever he wants, drinking and eating, and he thinks, all of that is reality. However, when he wakes up, only then he will become aware of the great emptiness within himself; but it will certainly be too late, for when the faith, filled with love, does not bring forth rivers of living waters during his life in the body, how shall he do it, when the loins are gone?! 37. Or if somebody cannot receive any money with the purse, how will he manage to get it, when he has neither a purse nor money?! Or if one cannot obtain the life, when he has it together with the necessary sack of life, how will he acquire it, when he loses the sack together with the life?! 38. Whoever cannot exist, when he exists, – how will he exist, when he does not exist?! It will only be given to the one, who does have it, and whoever has nothing, it will be taken from him, what he has! 39. I mean, this quite extended explanation should be clear enough. Therefore, you too better strive for the faith filled with love, because the empty faith is nothing but a sheer dream. Do you want to see rivers of living waters flowing from your loins, then your faith must become alive through the deeds of love! Amen.

Each Sect & Denomination thinks of itself as the Best and Purest one Scripture Explanations… Jesus’ exposition of several different bible passages Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 19.02.1844 John 16:32 “See, an hour is coming and has now come, that you are scattered, each to his own, and leave Me alone! Yet I am not alone, the Father is with Me.” 1. See, an hour is coming and has now come, that you are scattered, each to his own, and leave Me alone! Yet I am not alone, the Father is with Me. (John 16:32) 2. This text says what is openly displayed before you, and has been there already since My ascension. Therefore, this text is one of the easiest, for its meaning is simple and can be grasped by both hands and feet at the same time. 3. Only one thing needs to be explained, and that is, what difference lies between… The ‘time’ comes…, or when it says… The ‘hour’ comes…. With ‘time’ is meant a date, which will come under an unspecified ‘when’. But ‘hour’ is a definition of an immediate date of accomplishment of the pronounced statement. 4. Every now and then, you will find ‘time’ instead of ‘hour’ in this text. But that is wrong; for it must say… ‘The hour comes…’. And the reason for this is, the result of this prophetic statement arrived immediately thereafter. 5. What is meant with this scattering? Maybe the personal separation of My disciples and apostles, everyone to a different place? – Oh no! Because that was their destiny, and for that reason I have appointed them, to go out into all countries and preach the gospel to all creatures! 6. Wouldn’t it have been nonsense on My part, to make an evil prophecy of their profession? This way, the called messengers of My word would have to stay together in a bundle in order to not do anything evil, like some orders and congregations of your time are doing, which, in their substance, are doing as much good as a bunch of meteors would at the bottom of the ocean. It certainly would leave a great and terrible impression on the one, who sees them plunging into the sea; but once they have reached the steady ground of the ocean, they’d just rest there, doing nothing except being an underlayment for some hungry polyps. 7. Therefore, there isn’t even a single trace of a personal and local scattering contained in this prophecy, of which even the text itself already testifies, for it says… ‘But even if you will leave Me, I will still not be alone; for the Father is with Me.’ 8. Now, judge for yourself… Can anybody leave Me – personally or locally? Where should he go, in order to stand closer to Me or further away? Where will he be further away from Me, in South America or in North Asia? – I mean, this is certainly one and the same for Me, as being the Omnipresent! So, as stated before, this is not about a local scattering. 9. But then, what kind of scattering are we talking about here? – Look at the sects, which currently exist right before your eyes, and even existed to some extent back in My days, – which was the reason I made this prophecy in the first place! And when you look at the debates between my first two apostles, it must become very clear to you, what kind of scattering was meant, and you will, like I’ve stated before, grasp it with your hands and feet, what I prophesized to My disciples and apostles. 10. Only a few centuries after My ascension the fragmentation was already that huge, that nobody knew anymore, who is the cook and who is the waiter! Great councils had to take place, but even after those, they were fragmented, just like before. 11. How it looks now, I surely do not need to explain to you, for wherever you look, you will see the fragmentation! 12. It says… ‘Everyone to his place.’ That means as much as… ‘Each sect thinks of itself as the best and purest one.’ Am I alone because of that? – Oh no! Because the Father, or the first love, is within Me! 13. I recognize My people by their love, but not by the sect! Whoever loves Me and keeps My word, carries the love of the Father within him; just like I have the Father within Me, – and He is one with Me, like I am one with Him! That is why I am not alone; for the Father is within Me, and in the same way, I am within everyone, and all, who love and follow Me, are within Me. 14. The sect does not make any difference, and cursed are those, who prefer one sect over the other out of a worldly deference! Because in no sect is truth and life, everything is based on a coerced faith and faith by persuasion, which is not a whit better. Question, where does the free man exist therein? 15. When have I ever compelled anyone to believe anything? – I left each one the choice to decide for themselves! Those, who were not satisfied by My works and their own inner conviction, they were not forced by any other means, for I have not given My teaching for the faith, but only for the deed. 16. I did not say… ‘If you believe in Me, then, out of your loins will flow rivers of living waters!’, but I said… ‘Whoever acts according to My word, will experience, if My teaching comes from God or from the men!’ 17. What benefit would a demand to believe have brought? For I had certainly foreseen that much, that the light would illuminate the objects differently, in the same way, as the objects are different! 18. And it’s exactly the same with the light of faith! Depending on the way it falls on different coloured human minds, in that way it must illuminate it. However, a demand that one and the same light should reverberate from all the thousand coloured minds in a complete white, would be for sure the greatest folly! 19. The effect of the light must be various, but the effect of love is always the same, just like the warmth has only one effect, namely… it warms the red as much as the blue, and everything can be made to glow, and the color of the living love is forever one and the same, and glowing gold is no different than a glowing piece of iron. 20. Look, this is the meaning of this text! Therefore, don’t scatter yourselves, but abide in the love, and you will live! Amen.

Legacy of Jesus… Do, as John did Woman, see, your Son… Son, see, your Mother Scripture Explanations Jesus’ exposition of several different bible passages Chapter 32 – John 19:26-27 “Woman, see, your son!” Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 16.02.1844 Translated and spoken by Pascal Revelations with extensive explanations and interpretations of many important Bible passages by Jesus Himself, which have been difficult to interpret up until now. An important book, especially for those who compare the new revelations with the Bible, to check, if they correspond spiritually and for those who want to understand the bible scriptures better. 1. Jesus seeing His mother and the disciple, whom He loved, standing by, He said to His mother… ‘Woman, see, your son!’ Then He said to the disciple… ‘See, your mother!’ And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. 2. It is also common among you on earth that, if somebody bears his body’s death in mind, that he leaves behind a final decree of his will regarding his estate and assets, which is known to you as ‘Testament’. That’s why it was also necessary, that I made a final decree of will regarding My legacy. Mary, who was the woman giving birth to My body, was such a legacy, and she had to have the most necessary provision for her remaining days on earth. 3. Someone here and there might ask… ‘Didn’t leave Joseph anything behind? He had children himself, his own and strangers, which he raised; could these not have taken care of Mary as well?’ 4. That can be answered this way… Firstly, Joseph never possessed a property completely, and therefore, he could not leave anything behind. Secondly… His children, his own and the ones he took in, lived in great poverty themselves and most of them followed Me. And among them was John himself, who was often in the house of Joseph and at the same time he was also a pupil of this house. For John’s father was even more poor than Joseph, and therefore, he gave John to Joseph, so that he may learn his craft. He did learn it, and became a quite skillful carpenter and he also knew how to handle woodturning. On top of that, he loved Mary, as well as Me and the entire household of Joseph very much. And Mary could not have been given into the care of better and more faithful hands than the ones of Zebedee’s son. 5. See, this is the completely natural testament, and is therefore the nature-conform and literal meaning of My words at the cross. 6. But because these words were not spoken only by the man Jesus, but by the Son of God or by the Eternal Wisdom of the Father, that’s why there also lies behind them a very deep and most high, divine, spiritual and heavenly meaning, which you will certainly never be able to completely fathom in its entirety like so many other deeds of the God-man! 7. So, I can only give you hints about it from the realm of wisdom. However, do not research too much in it; for you know, that the things of wisdom will never be comprehended like the things that come forth from the pure love, just like nature already shows you that. 8. You might be able to grasp the shining and shimmering things, move them around and contemplate them from all sides; but are you able to do that with the free rays of light, which stream out of the shining bodies? 9. These rays carry the likeness of countless things undistorted with them, of which the newly discovered light-pictures give you proof. But ask yourself, if you are able to discover such pictures in the free rays with your senses. You will surely have to answer this question with ‘no’! 10. Therefore, the earlier mentioned hint still applies, namely… that you should not make too many speculations about given things coming out of wisdom; for you will not be able to do much more good than if you would simply look at the constructs within the free rays of light. 11. You might be able to make optic devices, through which the free ray is compelled to deliver its carried picture for you to see; but do you have an optic device, through which the pictures of the rays, caming from the primordial light, can be depicted in their original depth? 12. Yes, you indeed have such a spiritual optic mechanism within you, – but it will only become operative, once you have completely rid yourself from the worldly light. The world must transition into complete darkness first, before the light of the spirit can release its images for you to see. Your own dreams give you valid proof of that, and the visions of the entranced ones or- as you call them – the somnambulists give even more legitimate and clear evidence. 13. This pre-remembrance was necessary, so that we now can move on to the hints regarding these words at the cross! 14. ‘Woman, see, your son!’ and… ‘Son, see, your mother!’ – It’s deeper meaning is… ‘You, world, look at the son of man, and you, son of man, look at the world… Do not judge it, instead, bestow love upon it!’ 15. And spoken even deeper… ‘You, divine wisdom! Bow down to your eternal origin, and you, eternal origin, look at it and receive your emanating son for unification!” 16. Further… ‘You, who once carried the Holy of Holies, look at the death of your work, and You, murdered one, when You will resurrect, remember her, who once carried the Holy of Holies, namely… the light of the eternal love!’ 17. Behold, within these short hints lies the infinite depth, which will never be completely fathomed by any created being, because the content of this depth is already infinite, and it becomes infinitely duplicated in each and every moment! 18. I have told you so much about it, that you should realize, that the one who has said this at the cross, was more than just an israeli delinquent under the judgment of Rome, according to the opinions of many, because he was accused of being a rebel and a national troublemaker. 19. This is according to that, the deeper, spiritual meaning. However, you stay with the natural testament. For you also are My disciples, and the poor ones of the world are My Mother. And so, I also say to this mother… ‘See, your sons!’ And to you I say… ‘Look, your mothers!’ 20. Truly, if you will do as John did, you shall have his reward as well, eternally! Amen.

Chapter – Luke 19:4 And having run ahead, he (Zacchaeus) climbed up a sycamore tree to see Him, because He was about to pass by. Scripture explanations – Jesus’ exposition of several different bible passages Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 14.02.1844 1. And having run ahead, he (Zacchaeus) climbed up a sycamore tree to see Him, because He was about to pass by. 2. This verse indeed only contains the statement of a fact, and you could conclude, thanks to a previously sent forth teaching, that there would also be a hidden deep meaning, which one can never fathom completely; however, that is not the case here, because it is only practiced by man, and not by the Lord Himself. Nevertheless, this seemingly unimportant scene has an inner and spiritual meaning, and for that reason, it is mentioned in the gospel, because it contains a good applicable teaching for every human being. 3. One or the other of the wise men of the world may say here… What could be hidden behind such a common, ordinary thing? What else did Zacchaeus know from Jesus Christ, than what we know nowadays from a so-called miracle worker. 4. But if we know in advance of a place, where such a miracle worker will pass by, then everybody will come out onto the streets and alleys and everybody will await the entry of this miracle worker with great longing. If there are some easy to climb trees near the street, they will for sure be used by the boys and maybe also by some older, but very curious human beings. 5. What meaning lies within this phenomenon? – Certainly nothing more than the one, which can be grasped with the hands, namely… that several curious dandies also wanted to see the miracle worker! 6. The moral of this could therefore only be… Listen, you boys and curious men, as well as you short ones, who are not able to look over the tall cads. Try to take possession of a tree as early as possible, when such an occasion is coming up, so that you may be able to satisfy your eyes, without considering, that if by heeding this moral, some of the trees would be damaged. 7. Here we have an interpretation, as the world would give it. Therefore, I gave it here beforehand, to make it easier for the world, to satirize (agitate, make fun of) with their assessment of my interpretations, which are incomprehensible for them. 8. But we want to see now, what completely different meaning and moral is contained within this simple text. We want to start this explanation as odd as possible, as well as sending the practical part ahead and then let the theoretic part be understood by itself so to speak. 9. And therefore I say… The entire world is full of Zacchaeuses, and you yourself are one of them! Therefore, do what he did, and then I’ll say and do to you as well, what I said and did to Zacchaeus. The path that I choose to walk with My Own is known to you, you are, like Zacchaeus, sinful tax collectors of the world. 10. But what did Zacchaeus do to see Me along the path? – He was a short person, he ran ahead and climbed on a sycamore tree, which means as much as… The sinful human being recognized his unworthiness before Me, he was full of humility and corresponded to the tax collector in the temple, which also did not dare to raise his head. 11. However, humility is the main sustenance of love. The love grows stronger and mightier towards the one, before which she feels her great unworthiness! The more unworthy she feels, the more she will be drawn towards Him, because her respect grows to the extent, as she lowers herself in her own eyes. Such a love then only thinks about the one whom she holds dearest and greatly respects as her highest good. 12. In this preoccupation with the highly respectable object of such a love lies a light, which becomes brighter and brighter, in which man continually thinks and seeks, how he could bring his most sublime object closer to his contemplation! This thinking and seeking resembles the rushing ahead of Zacchaeus. 13. He is on the right path; but he also knows, that the Lord is the Innermost of all things, and is therefore in a great hustle and bustle and it will not be possible to spot Him even on this right path. However, the desire to see the Lord is greater than this hindrance and mightier than this hustle and bustle, and it summons all strength within man, to elevate himself and reach a point, from where he could contemplate the Lord across the hustle and bustle and in the mittle of it. 14. A tree is chosen and climbed… a sycamore tree, resembling the tree of knowledge, in whose leafs the fine radiant substance for the royal gowns is hidden. So, through greater understanding and through the light of faith, man wants to behold the Lord; that is why he runs ahead and climbs the symbolic tree of knowledge, which might have a sweet fruit, but still, no one will be satisfied by it. It seemingly satisfies, but after such a pseudo satisfaction usually follows an even greater hunger, as one ever had before. 15. It’s the same with the more elevated insights on the road of the intellectual research. These insights also seem to satisfy the spirit at first; but shortly thereafter, the desiring stomach says… The few sweet grapes only made me tired, but did not satisfy me; I have had a short lived feeling of fullness, but in the end, I was still empty! 16. See, this is a clear picture of what the sycamore tree signifies, which Zacchaeus ascended with the best intention, – and it would be good for all such worldly taught tax collectors and sinners, if they would climb the tree of knowledge along the Lord’s path with the intention of Zacchaeus! They would accomplish the same as Zacchaeus has accomplished. 17. But sadly, the tree of knowledge is very rarely climbed with the same intentions as Zacchaeus did, even though some Zacchaeuses ascend the tree of knowledge with better intentions, – but usually one, which is not situated along the Lord’s path. 18. Up to now, everything is clear, but now the question arises… Is it enough to achieve eternal life, if somebody does, as Zacchaeus did, with the best intentions? 19. This question is answered in the verse of the gospel, where the Lord says to Zacchaeus, who was peering down from the tree… Come down, for I must dine in your house today! 20. That means as much as… Zacchaeus! Relieve yourself of your elevated speculation of Me, and step down into the chamber of your love for Me. In your house, there is nourishment for Me, and I will enter and dine in your house! 21. And even more clearly this means… Zacchaeus! Step down into your first humility and love; thus I will move in with you, and I will refresh Myself with this fruit of your heart!” 22. Behold, this is the practical-theoretical meaning of this text, and the moral of it in short… Look at your brother Zacchaeus, and follow his example, so that, what has happened to Zacchaeus will also happen to you!” 23. I mean, any other theory would be really superfluous here; for the said things are already very clear. Whoever reads and considers it, will certainly find the portion of Zacchaeus, and I will say to him what I said to Zacchaeus. 24. This should be considered well by all of you! Amen.

Chapter – Luke 24:49 And I will send the Promise of My Father upon you, but you are to remain in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high! Scripture explanations – Jesus’ exposition of several different bible passages Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 12.02.1844 1. And I will send the Promise of My Father upon you, but you are to remain in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high! 2. This verse makes openly known in its literal sense, what it carries within, and it resembles in that regard a friendly human being, who quite frankly carries his heart in his open hand towards his friends, and therefore, one cannot easily misjudge him, and everybody can see at first glance, what this friendly man is up to. 3. It’s the same case with this text, as already said. Because when the son ascends, then the Promise of the Father will come in the fullness to those, who have waited in true hope and love for such a Promise. 4. But what does the ascension of the son mean, so that through that the Promise of the Father may be sent to those who wait and to the witnesses? – You know what is meant by the ‘son’, namely… the Wisdom of the Father. Therefore, the son corresponds with everything in every human being, that is associated with wisdom. The same goes for the intellect, prudence, all kinds of studies and insights. 5. This association of wisdom must also go through that same humiliation in each human being, it must be going through the crucifixion so to speak. Then it must be put into a new grave in the heart, seemingly dead, and from there resurrect again, and then, surrender and devote completely to the Father, ascending on high, to become one with the Father. 6. Only when this has happend, the Promise of the Father, which is the eternal life, will manifest in man’s life. That is the act of rebirth. 7. But the baptism with the Spirit of Power does not take place at the same time, just like no one shall baptize a child after its birth, but at least some days later, as it was common among the Jews to do so only after eight, ten or twelve days. But sometimes, the baptism of circumcision even happened much later, and in this way it was said here to My apostles and disciples, that after My Ascension they should stay together in the city until the power from on high will come upon them. 8. This condition shall be considered by every human being and he shall not venture out until he has received the baptism of the Spirit! Because without it, the reborn spirit equals a weak child, that is as pure as an angel in every respect, but it is lacking the power at work and the necessary free insight for it! 9. You know that the bestowment with the power from on high upon the apostles and disciples occurred at the tenth day after My Ascension. What does this mean? – It conveys and testifies of the complete subjugation to the mosaic law of the ten commandments in the freed life of the spirit! Therefore, the spirit must be made free from all his chains and shackles, before he can clothe himself with the Divine Power from on high. 10. Once this Power has come upon him, then he will be a completely new creature out of the spirit of love and of all its power, and only then, he can work with the full power of the Divine Love and Mercy. Only through such a baptism of the Holy Spirit from on high will the human being be freed from all his chains and shackles of death, and become one with and in Christ and is then able to say… ‘I do not live anymore, but Christ lives in me! I’m not myself anymore, but Christ himself is the ‘I’ in myself!’ 11. Therefore, the first thing to do is – as has been stated before – everything, that corresponds to the son in a human being, must walk the path of the son of man and must go his way, and this means for everybody irrevocably… ‘Take your cross and follow Me. Otherwise, you will not reach the resurrection and ascension to the Father!’ 12. And again, our current cause hits the nail on the head, namely, that no man can reach the rebirth and the baptism of the Holy Spirit by way of various education of his intellect with the help of well provided libraries or pretentious university professors. The only way to reach it is through humility and the great love of ones heart. 13. Everything, one has gained from the world, he must give back up to the last cent, even the knowledge of his head, which is making him arrogant – or else, it will look very slim for him regarding his rebirth and his baptism of power of his spirit. 14. Don’t believe, that one will enter the kingdom of heaven immediately, even if he had given all his wealth to the poor, and would still think and say to himself… ‘Lord! In the way, I was merciful, so be also merciful to me!’ Whoever speaks in this way, he is still lacking a whole lot of the heavenly kingdom, because he and Christ are not yet one, but obviously two, where one is dictating the other some cheap conditions. 15. I am always the poorest among you human beings, frankly… the poorest and most meager thing in every human being is the actual life force of his heart. It must first be richly endowed, before any other endowment can have a value on the outside; or in other words, your heart must be completely alive out of love for Me. I Myself must be your complete Love; only then, out of this love, you can work true merits for the eternal life, and that is, because the merits will be assigned only to Me. You, however, will only remain mere consumers of My Love, Grace and Mercy. 16. Because as soon as somebody says… ‘I have done this, and I have given that!’, he is still far away from him, who says… ‘I have always been a lazy and useless servant!’ and he is therefore still very far away from My Kingdom. Only when he confesses within himself and says… ‘Lord, My God and Father! I am nothing in everything, just like every man is nothing before You, but only You are all in all!’, then he is close to My Kingdom, and My Kingdom has come close to him. 17. In the same way, you too shall heed everything, what is said to you, then you will also reach the ascencion and the baptism with the Power of My Spirit, for the Fathers Promise has also been just sent to you… Amen.

Chapter – Mark 5:12 And all the demons begged Him saying… ‘Send us to the pigs, so that we enter into them!’ Scripture explanations – Jesus’ exposition of several different bible passages Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 09.02.1844 1. And all the demons begged Him saying… ‘Send us to the pigs, so that we enter into them!’ (Mark 5:12) 2. I have told you already, that in all My deeds the deep and well hidden secrets of My Being in the flesh on earth are contained. I have put My Words in a way, which everyone can understand; but it’s not the same with My Deeds. Not even My Brothers understood those, before the Holy Spirit came upon them, and when they understood them, it was also told to them by the Spirit, that they should not make known to anyone the deeper meaning of My Deeds, ’cause the world can and will in no way fathom it. 3. And it’s the same with this fact! If I were to explain to you the deepest meaning of it completely, you would have to cover the earth three times with writing, and that would only be the introduction. For the full explanation of the main significance of this fact, an entire solar system would not be enough in order to hold all the books that would be written about it. Due to all of this you can clearly see, what is actually behind such a fact! 4. But if it’s already said of a word, that it is like a seed, which is sown into to earth and brings forth much fruit, – what can be said about a real Deed of God?! For there is a difference between the ‘God said… ‘Let there be…!’ and the following… ‘It became…’. 5. In order for you to grasp just a tiny bit of the greatness of such a Deed, I want to reveal some of it very briefly. 6. Why does the Lord ask the demon what his name is, since such a thing for sure is known to the All-knowing, that in this possessed human being not only one, but an entire legion of demons is present doing evil? The Lord did surely not ask just for the names of these cruel spirits to get to know them, but why then did he ask for it? 7. He asked, in order to tell these demons who He is, for one can more easily recognize the nature of a creature from a question than from an answer. Ask a fool, and he will give you an answer that’ll surely puzzle you; but let the fool ask you about something, and you’ll recognize him on account of his question immediately! However, in the spiritual, the only way to make oneself known is through a question; thus, the Lord did not ask a question to subsequently get an answer, but to make Himself known spiritually to the demons as to who He is. 8. You also know similar situations and have already witnessed them by the so-called somnambulists (= sleep walker). If you would ask a sleepwalker, the character of the question would be different, not as if you want to know something, but it has the character of an exposure before the life of the sleepwalker, through which the sleepwalker looks at what is inside of you, recognizes you and the complete lack of life activity it found within you. 9. This kind is an obvious middle level, between the pure worldly or pure spiritual question; nonetheless, it already has the spiritual character in it for the deeper thinker. 10. Therefore, the question of the Lord to the demons means as much as… ‘Look here! There is a nakedness within Me, which means, that there is no evil within Me!’ 11. And so, the demons see this holy nakedness and thus recognize the Lord of eternity in it; and then they say… ‘We are a legion!’, – with that, they don’t declare their number, but rather, they make known, that in the presence of the highest purity of God, their evil is existent in an oversized amount. 12. But the purity of the Lord itself forces them to leave its presence. But even then, amidst the Divine Purity they see the Divine Mercy and call on it. In this moment, they take refuge in the humility and demand, according to their evil nature, to be allowed to dwell in the pigs, and the mercy of the Lord grants them, what they have asked for out of such humility. 13. As they enter into the pigs, their hidden pride before the Lord awakes again, and they drive the pigs into the ocean, so that they perish, and they, namely the demons, can move freely in the waters as monstrosities. 14. That’s what this picture looks like. But who is this possessed human being? – This possessed human being is the entire world, this legion of demons is in the world as they are present in this man. 15. The Lord comes to this possessed world in His Word. The world wants to be freed from its secret plague, and so, the Lord frees the world. But her inner evil vital activity is even worse in this free condition, than in its bound state. 16. When it is bound, it complains about pressure and plague; but when I free it, its activity flies right into the pigs, and it plunges itself into the ocean of perdition, and on top of that, the somewhat better men of the world also want to remove themselves from Me, because I am not at all convenient for their worldly industry. Because these Gardarenes are the actual industry tycoons. 17. However, these demons, which enter into the pigs, are dandies, people with delicious tastes, voluptuaries, cheaters und all kinds of intriguers. If you want to see these pigs in various colours in the world, throwing themselves into the sea, just visit the large capital cities; you will find them there in large herds, which resemble exactly the ones in the gospel. They also are a very large legion; they are possessed by the most corrupt demons, and they also drive them into the sea of sure perdition. 18. Look, this is the useful and discerning meaning of this evangelic deed of the Lord! But that there exists another, much broader and more eternal meaning behind it, needs not to be explained a second time. Firstly… you would never ever be able to fathom it, and secondly… it would be of no use to you. It would only harm you. 19. Therefore, be happy with what you have; for the infinity is too huge, the amount of creatures in it is infinite, their destiny for you is in most cases too unexplainable. So you also cannot possibly fathom, how the possessed one represents the entire material creation and all its inhabitants, the old prisoners! – This possessed one rests in the grave and is mad at the multitudes; look at the endless amount of graves in the infinity! 20. But enough of this! It is not the time for you here and now to understand the deepest meaning of this. Therefore, consider the first thing, it will be of good benefit to you! Amen.

Chapter – John 6:66 “From then on many of His disciples withdrew, and were not walking with Him anymore.” Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 08.02.1844 1. From then on many of His disciples withdrew, and were not walking with Him anymore. 2. This text, as you say, hits the nail on the head in every respect! 3. Why did many of My disciples leave Me and not walk with Me anymore, when I gave them the teaching from the enjoyment of My flesh and blood? – The cause for this was at first the sloth of My disciples, but thereupon immediately followed their pride. 4. Sloth was the reason, because they did not want to force themselves to at least ask Me, how such a teaching must be understood – as My brothers did later on. 5. And pride was the result… Because My disciples were too lazy at first to gain a higher insight, but still being My disciples, they became annoyed, that I gave them a teaching, which went beyond their horizon of understanding. They felt ashamed before the other people, because they did not understand Me either, and thus, they did not want to ask Me in front of the people on account of their pride, to not bear witness, as if they had not understood Me as My disciples. 6. Usually, after I have given them a lesson, My disciples have often been asked by the people, how this or that needs to be understood. And My disciples often gave a lot of minor explanations, and their ambitions were satisfied with the compliments they received for their comprehensible explanation regarding a lesson, that was more difficult to understand for the people. 7. And so it was also during this occasion, many of My disciples have been asked about the meaning of this teaching, but they could not give an explanation this time, because they did not understand the teaching themselves. Therefore, they chose another way to avoid trouble this time. They accused Me of giving them a hard teaching that was too difficult to understand for any human being, and because this did not bring them any honor from the people, they rather taunted Me, and they also declared that all My previous teachings were incomprehensible in the same way as the current one. And so, they did not believe in Me anymore and they left Me. 8. From this faithful depiction of the life back then, everybody can recognize with great ease, that the cause for this severe incident was nothing else but the sloth and then the pride of My disciples. The sloth, because they were always around Me and thus thought, they understood as much as I do – so why should they therefore make an effort, in order to press in deeper into the spirit of My teaching? The pride was stirred, when I once tested them on how much they understand, and to show it openly, that the disciple is not above the Master. 9. And see, these two root causes are the main supporting pillars of most of the corruption of mankind! Because first, man is lazy and stands idly there for the whole day. But when he is asked… ‘Why are you standing so idle the whole day?’ he will say… ‘Nobody has hired me to do anything!’ 10. And when I say to him… ‘Well then go out there at least in the evening and work for an hour, and then I will give you what is right!’, then he will say… ‘Lord, how can You put me to shame in this way and make a laughing stock of me for all those who have worked during the whole day?! If You want to give me something, just bestow it to me, but don’t make me known as a sluggard before the labourers!’ 11. Look, the sluggard does not want to work at first; and at the end, he is ashamed to work in front of the hardworking ones! How come? – Because this is not flattering for his hidden pride! He wants the same reward as the hardworking ones to make him feel good in his pride, but at first, he is too lazy to work, and soon thereafter, he is too proud. 12. However, the Lord will not be that unwise, to put sloth and pride on the same level with diligence and reward it! 13.Let me show you with a few more examples, that this all absolutely correct… 14. Lets take two students… The first one is diligent from the beginning, and the other one lazy. The diligent one will also earn the fruits of his effort at the end; but what kind of pretense and excuse will the other one present for his laziness? He will say… 15. ‘The diligent one was a fool who did not realize that he is cramming his brain with all sorts of useless stuff, I however recognized all these subjects as ridiculous, and I found it unworthy from the beginning to fill my lofty head with such folly! And due to lack of other subjects, I found, that this first understanding I had, is much higher and deeper than all the other nonsense, which should be learned!’ 16. See, here, the pride comes forth from the laziness! Whoever needs proof for this, just start an intimate conversation with such individuals, and you will surely realize that every aspect of it is true. 17. Lets take two musicians; the first one has acquired great practical and theoretical skills, due to all his diligent efforts, – the other one however, a son of laziness, stayed on the lowest and amateurish mediocrity, due to his minimal effort. Now ask him, why he did not make it as far as his fellow student! He will say… 18. ‘Because I wasn’t dependening on it, not like that other poor wretch; for I am rich anyway! Therefore, why should I bother with this? Such diligence is only necessary for poor devils, and what does it matter anyway, if I can actually play all this difficult musical nonsense myself or not?! One only needs to understand it, to which there is not much needed. Some poor devils will for sure play it and earn a piece of bread by it! On top of that, such difficult music stems from the poor devils, and thus, it would be extremely shameful for a rich person to occupy oneself with such fruits of wretchedness!” 19. Again, look at this real life example, and you’ll clearly realize why My disciples left Me! – But lets continue! 20. In the same way, one will say, when he is asked about why he does not occupy himself more eagerly with the insights of the pure christian, religious tenets… ‘I do not understand these things, and I also have never really dealt with it. The cause for this is… ‘Firstly, I think it’s all a bunch of nonsense, and there is not much to it, and secondly… Because through such religious musings one can only become a fool at the end!’ 21. See, first it was this mans laziness and then his pride, springing forth from it, that he is speaking in the same way as these disciples… ‘Who can accept such a teaching as being true, and change oneself according to it?! Therefore, it is better to forsake the Lord like these disciples did!’ 22. And in the same way, an impoverished beggar speaks, when he is asked… ‘How did you manage to get into such poverty? You had the chance, unlike many others, to actually save some of your money!’ And his defense will be… ‘I considered such saving too beggarly pathetic on account of my lofty nature, and it is now my honor, that I walk around as a poor fellow!’ 23. See, here is another example of a human being, that first is lazy and cannot deny himself insofar as to give his being a push and start collecting some assets; however, at the end, when he realizes, that he has nothing, then he becomes arrogant and he is even proud of his lousy state! 24. I mean, we have enough examples, that we can see very clearly, in how many ways I am forsaken by My disciples on every occasion, when it says… ‘From now on, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence!’ 25. And so, many hikers climb high mountains. As long as the journey is quite comfortable, all will walk along quite easily, but as soon as the steep walls of the highlands appear and that means… ‘From now on, the climbing of the mountain requires force and power!’ – They will turn around, and only a few will succeed to reach the peaks of the highlands. 26. The same applies to the following… As long as man is seeking My kingdom at the reading desk, everything is fine, but when it says… ‘Reading alone is not enough, only the deed brings the crown, for the flesh is of no use. The letter kills, only the spirit can make one alive!’ – Then, the Lord will mostly be forsaken by His disciples, as the text shows. 27. Therefore, consider this explanation in an active way, so that you will not forsake the Lord like the disciples did! Amen.

I do not desire Honor, but Love Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 05.02.1844 1. I do not receive honor from men. 2. This text declares with a few words, what kind of Covenant I have with men, namely… no Covenant of honor. Because men, in the way they are, are truly no honor to Me. I also did not create men, that they should honor Me. 3. But I do have a Covenant with men, and that is called ‘Love’, which means something completely different than honor! 4. Who are those, who let themselves be honored? – These are the rulers, princes and great ones of the world. 5. Why do they let themselves be honored? – Because they want to be more than men, even though their conscience does tell them, that they are not more than men. 6. What is the honor, which one shows towards another? – It is nothing more than the basic fear of the stronger and mightier one! Because the weaker one fears the blows and the relentlessness of the stronger one. Therefore, the weaker one crawls before him and honors him and worships him literally, so that the mightier one, bribed by such flatteries, does not strike him. The more reverent the weaker one gets towards the stronger one, the more overambitious and cruel the stronger one also becomes. 7. Question… Is such a tribute a fruit of a good or evil seed? – I mean… Like the fruit, so must the seed be as well! 8. So do you think, that I should take that from men, which is an abomination and an atrocious and nasty smell before Me?! 9. For what reason should I let Myself be honored by men? Because I am God, and the human beings are My creatures?! Because I am Almighty and all men are nothing compared to Me?! 10. Of what use would this honor be to Me?! Will I become even more God, and will My Omnipotence become greater?! 11. Could I become even more God through the tributes of men?! – I don’t think so, that is why I have not issued any law… ‘You shall honor the Lord, your God above everything!’ – Instead, only ‘Love Me above everything’. That is why it says in the present text, that I am not looking for honor from men. Because there is already One in Me, who truly honors Me from all eternity. 12. Oh what joy do I get from the ‘ad majorem dei gloriam-deeds’ (all for the greater Honor and Glory of God) or, as you’re used to say in the world… ‘All Glory be to God!’. You can easily recognize that in this text. Because whosoever does not honor Me within his heart like a bride who loves her groom with a burning passion, that honor is an abomination before Me! 13. Of what use is the thousandfold ‘Lord, we honor you!’, – all the while their hearts are full of filth? – Such an honor shall be pelted at from the entire hell! 14. Because all those, who honor Me in such a ceremonial way, are those, who call to Me ‘Lord, Lord!’ and they may sing to Me a thousand litanies and say… ‘Lord, we honor You and praise Your strength!’ – ‘Lord, we beg You, answer our prayers!’ and ‘Lord, have mercy upon us!’ and they may add to that a thousand times… ‘Honor be to God our Father!’ etc. 15. But I will never listen to such nonsense and answer it, and I will always say to all these ‘Lord, Lord!’ Sayers… ‘Depart from Me, for I have never known you! You have had a lot of honoring prayers and litanies, but why haven’t you come up with a litany, in which it does not say… ‘Lord, we honor you!’, but instead… ‘Dear holy Father, we love you!?’ 16. One will surely intervene here and say… ‘God must be honored!’ For it is the noble fruit of the true fear of God; because if one does not fear God, he is capable of every evil deed. 17. But I say… Although the fear of God is better, than doing evil deeds, but such a fear of God will still not give anybody an eternal life, because a fearful disposition is already a judged disposition! 18. Because if someone only refrains the bad things out of fear from Me, he will have to master a difficult test, because by fearing Me, no human spirit is capable of feeling any bliss, and he will be stripped of any fear, and then it will be revealed, what he will do before Me without fear. 19. So, on this earth many criminals in jail are kept in a legal order by the fear of the punishment. But once they are released after their time in jail, they will be ten times worse than before. 20. All spirits of hell live and consist in the greatest fear of Me. If they only see Me from afar or hear My Name, that is the most horrendous thing for them! But which fool will assert here, that these hellish spirits are good therefore, simply because they have such a great fear of Me?! 21. I will give you an example… Lets say there is an extremely good person somewhere on this earth, who might be very wealthy, but at the same time full of the greatest love, meekness and courtesy, and every human being, that would come to him, no matter what social status, which nation, friend or enemy, he would welcome him affectionately and take him in. Question… What human being would have to be such a big fool and be more afraid of such a person than of an executioner?! 22. But which human being is better, more affectionate and more gentle than Me?! And still, people rather fear Me instead of loving Me with the greatest trustfulness! 23. But I still say… The ones who fear and honor Me, seem to do it for a good reason, because they know, that their heart has no Love at all. That’s why they want to replace that with the fear of Me. 24. But they feel thereby like a bride, who has become unfaithful towards her most trustworthy bridegroom, and they became a whore. Why did they become a whore? – Because they have given away all their love, they had within their heart for their bridegroom! 25. So, when the bridegroom will come, do you think He will look at this trembling and fearfilled bride in the same way and accept her, as if she had been running towards Him with a flaming heart? Will He not probably say to her… 26. How do you look? I have never seen you this way! Why do you tremble before Me, who loved you above everything? Truly, I cannot recognize you in this state! What have I ever done to you, that you fear Me? How could such a fear suppress your former love? How am I supposed to make you happy now, I, whom you do not love, but fear?! – Therefore, I must depart from you, out of love for you, so that your fear of Me in your heart may no longer torture you! 27. Look, in this example, the ‘I do not know you’ who say to Me ‘Lord, Lord!’ is clearly explained, and that is why I do not want the honor of men as the fruit of fear, but rather I want the faithful childlike love. 28. Strive for that in your heart, and I will come closer to you, but not in your honoring and fear! Be doers, that were made free through love, but not doers of My Word, judged by fear. Therein you will find eternal life and Me, your father! Amen.

Chapter – Luke 19:27 But those enemies of Mine, who did not want Me to reign over them, bring them here, and slay them before Me! Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 03.02.1844 1. But those enemies of Mine, who did not want Me to reign over them, bring theme here, and slay them before Me! 2. The present text is almost too easy, so that one should have to give a long explanation for it, and it also belongs to those texts, where the disciples did not ask… ‘How are we supposed to understand this?’ – For even the blind Pharisees understood this text, who knew exactly that they were the citizens of the city to be slayed before Me. 3. But that would certainly be a narrow sense, but in spite of that, the main sense is definitely not difficult to recognize either, – one only needs to know that ‘slaying’ means as much as ‘judging’, then one already has the whole Understanding! 4. Who are the ‘citizens’ of the city, who did not want the king? – Take a look into the world, and you’ll see such citizens in every street, corner, nook and cranny in a great abundance, who do not want the king! – The ‘city’ is the world, and the ‘citizens’ are the worldly people, who do not want to know anything about and of Me. 5. Those ten, who have received a pound or talent (we use pounds here, meaning the same as talents), are the few chosen ones, who live among these citizens of the world, – among which there is still a lazy one, that does not want to busy himself with the one pound, that was entrusted to him. 6. With the ‘one’ are meant the people, who recognize the Word of God and accept it, but are too sluggish to act accordingly, that is why, in the end, whatever they have, will be taken from them, and given to him, who has ten talents. 7. Why though? – Because this one has lived completely according to My Word, he is completely in love with Me, full of fire and zeal. That is why he deserves, like a sun, the complete fullness of light. 8. But he, who has no fire, also has no light and equals a planet, that only is resplendent with external light, which cannot remain with him. When he is taken away from his sun, he then floats as a dark lump from one eternity to another, in his self-condemned crookedness. 9. We can easily realize by what was just said, that the above text holds nothing more than the judgment for everything worldly! 10. However, there is a third kind of being here, to which the Lord or the King is speaking to… ‘Bring the citizens of the city here, who did not want Me as their king, so that they may be slayed!’ 11. Who are they? – Who else but the angels of heaven, of which you know already for a long time, and how they are the executors of My Judgments. They will always judge the world. 12. But why? – Firstly… Because they are one with Me, and secondly… They are the harshest opposite to the world! Because they are one with Me, they have all the power and might from Me. That is why they are the harshest opposite to the world, and therefore the world will always be judged by them. 13. This is the easy and well considered meaning of this text. 14. Sometimes, the distributed pounds or talents were believed to be the different human talents, which need to be trained. But that is completely wrong! Because if that would be true, the most blasphemous St. Simonismus (Buying of spiritual ministries and dignities) would be completely complacent before God, who also considers the education of the stealing – and murdering talents to be a cheap thing. However, this is for sure not the underlying sense of the entrusted talents or pounds. 15. These distributed pounds are simply the distributed Word of God. Who does immediately have it in a living manner, that one has ten talents. If he has it in his love or in his heart, he has it in a living manner. 16. But he, who has the five pounds, he has the Word in his living faith, according to which he can become active in love. 17. He, who has the three pounds, has the Word of God in his understanding. If he acts according to it, he will obtain wisdom. 18. However, he who only has one pound, does have the Word of God also in his understanding; but it does not look at him. He does not have anything against it, – actually, he thinks, that it is beautiful, good and true; but when he is supposed to completely act according to it, he says… 19. Yes, if we would not be bound to this world and therefore have to do the worldly things because of the world, it would be very praiseworthy to act according to this teaching! But we must live in this world, and therefore follow its ways, otherwise one would be easily exclaimed a misfit… One will lose his dignity and reputation, and basically represent oneself very isolated, after which one is not capable to work in this world any longer, where it would have been necessary to do so for a good purpose! 20. The rich one says… ‘I wanted to live with my assets according to the gospel, if the actual circumstances would be different. But the world is simply the world, and therefore it’s necessary, that we handle the assets in a way, that one does not have to starve when getting older, and that the children also can find the necessary provision, which makes them independent before the world.’ 21. But the officer says… ‘My God! Where should I take the time for this? Department and community service are more important than serving God! Once I’m retired though, I will then also take the rosary into my hands in Gods name, or live according to the gospel, as long as it does not interfere with my circumstances!’ 22. The Chaplain says… ‘When one only fulfills the duties of his position, which he endues in the world, and sacrifices all of that to God, one has done enough!’ 23. But I say… ‘Those are all burying their one pound, and they will have the same fate as it was said of the evangelic owner of the one pound!’ 24. How come? – Because not even one single spark of love for Me can be found working in one of them! They always like a certain comfort in their worldly life more than Me. 25. The rich one is satisfied with Me, as long as he can see himself and his family being well provided for with his money, but what living love can he present and what trust in Me, when he himself works with all his strength, so that he and his family will not starve one day?! For such a conficence, everyone would say thank you! 26. When a changer commissions a trustee, but never entrusts a single penny to him, wouldn’t the trustee soon say… ‘Friend, do you only think of me as a rutterkin and my great bail as invalid and futile, so that you do not trust me even with a single penny?! Manage your assets yourself, but I demand my bail back! 27. I will do the same with those rich believers in Christ and take My bail from them, because I will not let them make a fool of Me, and even less a liar and deceiver, which they truly think I am. That is the reason, they do not trust Me and they therefore provide themselves for their existence. 28. The same I will say to all officials and ministers of all sects, who figure, that the fulfillment of their worldly duties and the fulfillment of the professional duties are a service to God… ‘Have you served for free? Has the fulfillment of your duties not made you any profit? Have you fulfilled your duties out of love for Me, or out of love for your own advantages? 29. When they will say… ‘We have done good things and the legal part of the good things because it was the right thing to do, and therefore, we also could enjoy those advantages with a good conscience, which are the consequence of the good and legal actions!’ 30. Then, I will say… ‘So you’ve been paid workers and you have received your wage! But how much did you gain for Me with the one pound, that I had entrusted to you? Show Me your profit!’ 31. And truly, everyone will show Me their one single pound and they will have to say… ‘Lord, the pound was not useful in the circumstances, we were put into on earth, but we recognized it as a sacred object, so we did not touch it!’ 32. And I say… And that, what was said about the evangelic owner of the one pound, will happen to them as well, and these ‘one pounders’ will have to work incredibly long in the beyond, until they will be able to work their way up a single penny! There will precede a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth! 33. I mean, this is clear also; heed it, so that you will not be a part of the ‘one pounders’! Amen.

Chapter – Matthew 6:31 Do not worry then, saying… ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For all these the gentiles seek for. And your father in heaven knows that you need all these. Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 31.01.1844 1. Do not worry then, saying… ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For all these the gentiles seek for. And your father in heaven knows that you need all these. 2. See, my loved ones, these are again some much longer texts. Therefore, their meaning is very open and clear, and its spiritual meaning is openly displayed as well, so that each and every person can grasp it with their hands according to their needs! Actually, you can see, that not the teachings I speak are the most difficult to understand, but the most difficult to grasp are My deeds. – But why? 3. The Teaching had to be conveyed in a way, so it could be grasped by the world without much effort, because what would a teaching made of the deepest wisdom benefit the world? It would be exactly the same for the world, as the japanese language is for you, it would not understand one single letter. 4. For example, take the revelation of John, which is written in a little deeper wisdom! You may have read quite a few explanations about it – and you still don’t know what to make of this revelation, and wherefore it’s good beside the gospel! 5. That is why My Teaching was always stated in a way, so that the entire world may understand its true meaning. Whoever heeds the useful and easy to understand literal sense, will come closer to the open spiritual meaning easily! 6. And so, the two current texts belong to the part of My Teaching, which My disciples did not find very difficult, and they do not belong to the parables, which My disciples did not always understand, instead, these two texts belong to the part of My teaching, where My disciples said… Now, You are speaking very clearly, what You want to say, and we do understand You!” 7. But what do these two texts contain? – Nothing but a simple and brotherly-friendly warning regarding the world, and I want to show that a) People should cast all their worries onto Me and search for My Kingdom through the deed; everything else will be added to them freely. a) Matthew 6:33; Luke 12:31 8. Therefore, this is the whole natural meaning of this text; but also the spiritual meaning can be grasped with the hands, for what is dissuading for your body, also applies for your soul and for your spirit and may sound like this: 9. Do not be anxiously concerned to educate your spiritual strength of mind with all kinds of cumbersome studies! Do not worry about the universities and all sorts of diplomas, but love Me, your Father, and I will give you the wisdom of the angels for free, and that will for sure be me more than if you had acquired all the diplomas and doctorates in the world! 10. For all the great scholars of this world with all their diplomas and doctorates are not able to find out, what happens with a human being after the body’s death, whereas the one, whom I’ve given the wisdom, is carrying this around within his little finger, and with the most convincing certainty. 11. Yes, I tell you… In this regard, the animals with their dull apprehension are actually better off than most of the great worldly scholars. The following text fits here… ‘For what does it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, but loses his own soul?’ Matthew 16:26 12. Whoever does not know, what once will happen with him, already shows, that his soul is damaged. As an artist cannot accomplish anything significant on a damaged instrument, in the same way also a spirit cannot do anything significant for the eternal life through a soul, which has been severely damaged by the world, because he has to use his power to complement the gaps in the soul. So how should he, as a perpetual cobbler, then ever accomplish a healthy and perfect boot, in which his foot of life could find suitable protection and a strong base?! 13. Therefore, from now on, a) nobody should worry regarding body and soul, what to eat, drink and what to wear, because I will take care of everything, as soon as he is acting according to My Teaching and out of love for Me. a) Matthew 6:25; Matthew 6:33 14. This is the complete and easy to understand meaning, whoever heeds it in a living manner, will be better off than all speculators, profiteers and scholars of every kind. Amen.

Chapter – John 11:35 And Jesus wept. Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 29.01.1844 1. And Jesus wept. 2. This text is very short, only three words; but it is despite its shortness so significant and distinctive, that if I would illustrate this text only a little for you, you had to write a whole world of books. But its complete meaning, you will never be able to comprehend in its fullness for all eternity! 3. The connection word “and” is written countless times in the scriptures; but it does not connect anywhere as much as it does here… Because here, it connects two eternal things into one, namely… the eternal love and the eternal wisdom, the power and might of God. For Jesus is the wisdom, the power and the might, and with that, the ruler over everything that fills the eternity and infinity spiritually and naturally. 4. However, this Jesus was crying. But how and why? – Because he became one with the Father and the Eternal Love in its fullness. Because once it said with Moses, as he demanded to see God… ‘No one can see God and live at the same time (Genesis 2 33:20)!’ Many saw God in Jesus, and He became their life, and they did not die, because they saw Him. 5. The Deity did not weep during Moses time, but rather it did sentence those to death who disobeyed the laws, and nobody was awakened, who once became dead. Here we have the same Deity; but it did not hide itself anymore in the unfathomable center of its love and mercy, but instead, it wept and activated itself, and then loosened the chains of death of the one, who was rotting in the grave. 6. Do you understand now, what the weeping of Jesus means here? – The weeping represents the infinite deep compassion of God’s eternal Love! 7. With whom does this love have mercy? – With the one who is rotting in the grave already for four days! 8. Who of you has enough wisdom to comprehend this complete picture of endless significance? Do you think, that Jesus only has done a local miracle here, by which firstly… He gave back the beloved brother to the two saddened sisters, and secondly… to provide evidence to the Jews, how it never was done before Him by anyone? 9. Look, these are just insignificant and minor details, because Jesus had already accomplished miracles in great abundance before, which were equally great; but regarding the comfort for the two sisters, He would surely not have been at loss, He who holds the hearts of all men in His hand, who blesses them with a single glance, yes, with the slightest sign, so that they wouldn’t mourn anymore for their deceased brother, but rather remembered him joyfully rejoicing! 10. Now, it looks like this wasn’t the main reason, but what was it then? – Yes, within this deed lies the actual depth of God’s deed, which is unfathomable for you! I can only imply them to you by distant hints, but not elucidate it completely, because a full light in this matter would cost you your life. Because it says with this deed, that it happens, so that the glory of the Father is revealed in the Son. 11. What do the two mourning sisters Martha and Mary represent here? – They are pictures of the past and the future; one of them is more externally, more prefiguring, and the other is more internally, and therefore more spiritual, in itself the truth in its complete form. In a more extended sense, Martha represents the entire natural creation, and Mary the complete divine and spiritual creation. – Look, these are the two mourning sisters! 12. Who are they mourning for? – For a brother, who is rotting in the grave for four long days already! The four days represent the four states of creation. 13. Well, who is the brother? – But now, enough of this! Whoever of you possesses only a little wisdom, will now combine the facts; but a clearer explanation from Me would be life threatening! 14. But you may extract from those things said as much as… What a great depth and inscrutability lies within the three words ‘And Jesus wept!’. When you consider who Jesus is, you’ll at least be able to sense, that His tears represent something different and much bigger than the ones of a semi-blind lady reading a novel. The temper of Jesus was not one that would be tempted by reading, but it was the eternal love itself as the Father in the Son! 15. An example to be imitated, the tears show that you shall be merciful as well, out of the true depth of life, for a softheartedness and compassion, created by reading novels, has no value with Me, and is not much better than a blind love or a wedding in the theatre. To such merciful people I will give the reward, which was the reason for their compassion. They shall find giant libraries in the beyond as well with countless novels, and they will not be able to leave there, until they have experienced it within themselves in a living manner, that a written love and a written life actually is no love and no life. 16. Whoever does not love out of Me and not learn from Me, that one does everything as a dead person, and he will not arise from his grave, until Jesus will weep above it. – Try to understand, there lies a great depth within, and so be the life your Amen!

Chapter – Matthew 23:24 You blind leaders, who strain out a gnat and swallowing a camel! Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 27.01.1844 1. You blind leaders, who strain out a gnat and swallowing a camel! 2. Now this is another verse that fits at all times, and its meaning can be grasped very easily with your hands, just like it is the case with others. 3. Who are these blind leaders? – These are the so-called nitpickers and literalists of the law. They clean and blare all day long; the great mistakes however, which the entire salvation and life of man depends on, they often don’t know, and if they know about them, they close their eyes out of political reasons, as if they would mean nothing. 4. To make this as clear as possible, I will give you only a few examples! We want to start with the small ones and work our way up to the big ones, or from the exceptional to the general. 5. Lets look into a family, a single household! The father has children of both genders. In a wealthier house, the boys are encouraged to diligently study, and the girls also have different masters. They learn some foreign language, drawing, music, and next to that, some other delicate female tasks. 6. The sons are encouraged to study diligently. They must be excellent, otherwise, severe hours will follow. Every neglect will be sharply reproved, and punishments are not absent. In the same way, the so-called prosperity rules are strictly managed, and woe to the boy who carelessly sins against them! And daily, the father, the instructor and the teacher punish him. 7. One will ask… ‘Is that wrong?’ – I’ll only say this… Here are also the gnats strained out, but the camel is swallowed up unnoticed! 8. But what is the camel here? – The camel is the studying itself, and the polished worldly transformation of a young person. Through this swallowed camel, the young person loses the very last drop of what could have awakened the spirit life within him, and by that he is thrown deep into the world. 9. It’s the same with the girls! The strict mother talks almost all day until she has a knot in her tongue; because one daughter has made a stitch too long, and with the other one, a stain has been discovered, and the third daughter wasn’t good enough in one subject or the other, and another does not have her hair in order. In short, every little misstep and every almost unnoticeable mistake is more often than not bitterly rebuked, the whole day is full of correcting, punishing and spurring. 10. Look, here again, gnats are filtered. But the fact, that the girls – through this whole worldly furbelows – are killed for any inner, spiritual life… That is the camel, which is swallowed up without qualms. 11. I mean, nothing must be added to this example, for it is absolutely clear in itself. Now, lets look at a more general example… 12. In the same manner, it is watched closely by the church, that the so-called ecclesial statutes are heeded especially by the little guys, by withholding the absolution. Whoever takes heed of that, he has nothing to fear from the church side. But on that account it is preached on every sunday and holyday as sharply as possible and the hell is proclaimed to be very hot for such a poor sinner and he has a lot to do until he has put himself back into the favor of the church. With a rich one of course, it is a little easier, but for the poor one it is very hard! 13. But how does it look with the proclamation of My Word and with the guidance according to that? – Meaning… If a Christian fulfills his duties in the church, he may sin against My Commandments, and he can be sure that he will not receive a strict penance! 14. If he only attended the sunday morning ceremonies, he may visit gambling houses, taverns and dance halls during the afternoon without qualms. He may gamble, revel, dance and whore the entire night; he may also occasionally cheat, slander people, lie, be stingy, and hurt someone else, however, of course in a politically correct manner. 15. However, during the next confession, especially with a discreet confessor, this is forgiven for five ‘our fathers’, and ‘Ave Maria’, and of course for a paid mass. Can our confessant show an indulgence, then he will simply proceed, like a sun, impeccable, from the confession chair to the Lord’s table and from there he will leave the church like an angel. 16. Who does not see the straining out of the gnats here and the gross swallowing up of the camel?! 17. Remember, I do not want to accuse every single confessor of this; for there are now and then some, who take this more sincerely, with good intentions. However, in general, it is as explained. 18. Nicodemus also belonged to the scholars and Pharisees; however, he was an exception among them, and he was neither a filterer of gnats nor a swallower of camels; for he knew Me and acted according to My word. – Therein should be enough pardon for accurate confessors. And now we move on to a general and great example! 19. So, the rulers of the world establish a great amount, yes, a horrifying amount of laws, which will be – if broken knowingly or unknowingly – severely punished according to the paragraphs. But regarding My laws, only those are incorporated as state laws, through which a worldly indemnity can be achieved. Those are preferably the seventh, the fifth, and, in apparent bad behaviour, the sixth commandment. The state does not care much for the other seven commandments. Only political concerns could cause such a thing. So, the state does not care much, or not at all, about leading the nation according to My word, and says the following… ‘We leave the rest to the clergy!’ 20. On both sides, gnats are filtered and thousands of camels swallowed up, and the manner of the Pharisees never ceases. Because if you catch them on one side, the other side will take even more space, and one can do what he wants, he will come mostly from smoke to smother. 21. The world wants to rule, and for this purpose, it can make everything fit. Godly and worldly laws are stretched into a yoke and must drag the people into perdition. 22. What does it avail, when a person is so very well polished and stands there, fit for the society?! Of what use is it, when man runs to confess his sins daily before the confessor?! And of what use is it, if a state – looked at through worldly eyes – is in a great condition, but at the same time the main aspect, which all the spiritual life depends on, is completely ignored and pushed aside?! 23. I mean, it would be better, if a worldly cripple enters into life eternal, than a worldly polished one entering eternal death! 24. To say more would be unnecessary. Therefore, do not care so much about the gnats, but rather be careful, that you do not swallow up any camels. In this way, you will attain eternal life! Amen.

Chapter – Mark 9:1 And He said to them… ‘Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here, who shall not taste death at all, until they see the reign of God having come in power!’ Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 26.01.1844 1. And He said to them… ‘Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here, who shall not taste death at all, until they see the reign of God having come in power!’ 2. This is a little longer text again, and therefore only needs a shorter explanation. One only needs to know, who those are, that will not taste death, until they see the reign of God coming in all its glory. Once we know them, we almost already know the meaning of this text! 3. Now, who are they? – They are the believers, and they put their hope in it! Whoever believes firmly, he will also find his hope realized in his faith; for it says… ‘Whoever has faith in the size of a mustard seed, and does not doubt, what he believes, this one can move mountains with the power of his faith!’ 4. So, with the ‘some’ are meant the believers, and this means the believer, who is continually inspired by the desire to see with his eyes, what he believes. That is why this promise has been placed in such a manner, so that it shows, how the inner desire of such believers shoud be realized, and they shall not taste death, before they have seen, what they believe in. 5. Now what did those few believe in? – These few firmly believed, that I was the promised Messiah, as well as that through Me, the glory of the Reign of God, meaning a complete theocracy (Sovereignty of God), will be established on earth, and that it will never end. The son of man will take over the glory of the Father on earth, and all kingdoms will have to bow and kneel before His Power, everyone below, on and above the earth. 6. This was the true faith of those few people. For this reason, they were told that they will not taste death, until they will see the coming of the glory of the kingdom of God, however, not in the way they believed it would happen, but rather only according to their faith. 7. What do you think, why these several people – after they had seen the arrival of the glory of the Kingdom of God – still had to taste death? – The reason for this is… Because faith in itself, no matter how firm it is, does not create any life, if it doesn’t have love as its essence, which is immortal only! 8. There are quite a lot of such ‘several people’ on earth also now, who only hold on to the only saving faith, but not considering, that faith is only a radiance of the gracious light of My love, which is well prepared and works within, as the light works in a natural manner on earth. When it is very strong in the summertime, it also warms up the soil and it encourages all kinds of fruits to come out of it. But the light can’t always be equally powerful, so when winter closes in, and the sunrays become weaker and weaker, soon, all products of the summer light will be buried beneath snow and ice. 9. So why does earth not revive her children during the wintertime, which were so flaunting during summer? Why do they have to taste death, even if they have already felt the glory of the sunlight before? – Because earth does not possess enough warmth of its own! 10. It’s the same with the heroes of faith! They firmly believe and are full of zeal and activity, as long as they are illuminated and warmed by My ray of grace. However, when they are tested, how much warmth of their own they have within, they start to wither, the fruits, along with the leafs fall from the tree; and now they stand there, naked, and instead with the former fruits, their branches will soon be covered with snow and ice. 11. In My highest summer light of grace, they surely see the glory of My kingdom in the fruits, which they bring out of this light; however, these fruits have another origin; they are not produced through the power of their own warmth, and therefore the tasting of death remains infallible in the background. 12. However, it is not so for those who – in their great love for Me – have their own sun, to those I say… ‘Verily, verily, those who love Me and act according to My Word, will never feel nor taste death, ever! 13. Faith can also be attained by reading the right books, but love comes from the heart only. Therefore, ask your heart more than the books, how it feels towards Me, and you will not belong to the ‘several people’! Remember this for all times! Amen.

Chapter – Matthew 13:16 Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 24.01.1844 1. Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 2. What do you think this text means? – You’ll immediately say… ‘We don’t know!’ 3. For if you would say… ‘We know!’, you would obviously lie. For you must consider the text first in its outward literal meaning. If you find the text in its general understanding to be very wise, you are still far off the truth and the light, which is hidden within this text; but if you think, that this text is nonsense for the general mind, you are much closer to the truth and the light of this text. 4. There may be some jokers saying here… ‘I agree with that, and whoever realizes, that the entire bible is nonsense, this one is already the truth and the light himself!’ – But I do not mean it in this wordly joking sense, when I say… ‘You first have to think of this text being nonsense with your worldly mind, if you want to get closer to its light!’ 5. Why do I say such a thing? – Because this text has a pure heavenly meaning, which goes completely against all worldly understanding! 6. But how is this text nonsense, according to all the worldly understanding? – Listen, for I will tell you! 7. You know, that only the heart or the love is capable of a blissful feeling or any beatitude; and for this reason, because only the love or the spirit within man is living, therefore they are the only ones capable of any sensation. That is why blissfulness is not suitable for the eyes or the ears; because the eyes and the ears are only sense organs, which must serve the spirit for its living accomplishments, and neither the eye nor the ear is capable of any bliss on its own, but surely the spirit through the eyes and the ears, just like it is with other sense organs. 8. So, when it says the following in the text… ‘Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear!’ According to the worldly understanding, something contradictory has just been said. – Now we want to see, if it is the same with this matter! 9. The common, a little better worldly Christians understand it this way, that only the eyes and ears that have seen and heard Me during My life on earth, were blessed, and it is said, that this is only a little nicer phrase, in which one puts the sign instead of the matter, parts of a whole (for the entire man) or as the rhetorical ones would express it more scholarly… ‘Signum pro re; pars pro toto.’ But it basically still would say as much as… ‘Blessed are the ones, who have personally seen and heard Me!’ 10. Isn’t this the correct explanation, and as annotation… out of the mouth of the better worldly Christians?! – That’s for sure, but I have to mention, that neither I Myself nor the named evangelist have ever studied rhetoric, and that we neither took any synecdoche (Changing of “Part” and “Whole”) into consideration, nor any kind of syllogisms (jumping to reasonable conclusions). 11. Our figure of speech had the only name… Inner Divine-Spiritual Truth. And according to this figure of speech, which appears in My rhetoric, our current text does neither belong to a synecdoche, nor to a kind of syllogism; it is also not a paraphrase, as well as not a prolog and epilog, instead, like I said… It is a pure, innermost, Divine-Spiritual Truth! 12. And it consists of the following… All men usually have a great fear from the fleshly death. The reason for this is that they are worldly, and therefore cannot see any spiritual thing, and they are also not able to hear that, which would be a living lesson for their spirit. 13. This text contains a heavenly doxology for those, who have brought it so far with their true loving life, that the world with its night fell from their eyes like a heavy cover, and that their spiritual ears were opened, so that they hear My paternal Voice, which says as much as… ‘Happy are those who are born again in the spirit!’ And this statement does not concern the outward meaning regarding the ones, who were My comrades during My time, but actually includes every man, who has ever lived on earth and ever will live, just like it includes all the inhabitants of all the other worlds. 14. Because everything has to be regenerated spiritually, before it can enter the spiritual and as a consequence the eternally living, and truthfully blissful. Here the ‘eyes’ represent the recognizing of the Divine Truth, and the ‘ears’ represent the absorbing of such and to act accordingly, and it means as much as… ‘Blessed is the man in his spiritual understanding, so that he may recognize the Divine Truth completely, and he will be truly blessed, if he implements the Divine Truth in his life and acts accordingly! Only then he will achieve the spiritual rebirth, and as a consequence of this he will never ever see, feel and taste death. 15. That is the actual meaning of this text! This text would be applied deviously for those, who search for the light by reading as much as they can with their eyes, or for the ones who, if they can’t even read, but nevertheless listen to a lot of sermons, christian doctrines and confession manuals; for they are coming out of the sermon exactly the same way as they went in! 16. Yes, many people already forgot most of the sermon, the second, they step out of the prayer house. And during many sermons, the ears of the listeners are everything else but blessed, especially if the preacher does not have a lot of brotherly love, and conveys the hell as hot as possible and the path to heaven extremely narrow, steep and thorny, that at the end the listeners choice will be difficult, regarding which path should be chosen to walk on and they think… ‘Hell might be hot, but the path going there seems to be much more comfortable! Heaven might provide the greatest bliss, but who would ever want to go there, if it is only attainable on an almost impossible ascendable path?” 17. Well, the ears of those may definitely not be the most blessed ones, just as little as the eyes of the scholars, who indeed see a lot, but whatever they would like to see the most, they can never catch sight of! That is, why only those, who strive for the spiritual rebirth, are blessed, and attain it steadily, more and more. 18. But nobody will be reborn all at once, but rather step by step, but the act of rebirth does not begin for anyone, until he has started to recognize the Divine Truth, and no one will be completely reborn and reach the inner view and hearing of the living word, until he bans the world – which actually means the sin – freely out of himself. And only then, the quoted text comes into play in its pure and heavenly light, and only then are the eyes blessed, that see, and the ears, that hear. 19. I mean, this text is again portrayed very clearly. Therefore, strive for the realization of it within yourself as well! Amen.

Are you a Gunboat, a Sailing Boat or a Raft?… 20. Chapter – Mark 6:48 And seeing them straining at rowing – for the wind was against them – at about the fourth watch of the night, He came to them, walking on the sea, and intending to pass them by. Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 22.01.1844 1. And seeing them straining at rowing – for the wind was against them – at about the fourth watch of the night, He came to them, walking on the sea, and intending to pass them by. 2. Long verses only need short explanations, for they already have the explanation within themselves. But short verses need longer explanations because firstly… they do not contain an explanation in their short nature, and secondly… their light is usually pressed together and locked up. That is why it needs more effort to free their whole light than with longer verses, which are shining bright enough already in their position. 3. For this reason, I cannot give you an extended explanation for the present text, because its light is very strong already, and if you would think about it just a little bit, you yourself must be able to grasp it with your hands and feet at the same time! But for you to understand this, I want to give you just a little hint, and then you will understand this text more than enough. And therefore, listen now! 4. The ‘sea’ is the world, the troubling ‘winds’ are the doings of the world and its desires and lusts, against which a right skipper has to fight until the fourth night watch, which represent the final days of his life, meaning his entire life, because the ‘night’ signifies the material life on earth. 5. The Lord is not in the boat. Why not? – Because He is not in the world, for the ship represents the man living in the world, and the Lord is not with him because of his freedom. 6. But the Lord still follows the skipper and he is walking across the waves of the world, as if they were dry land. He does not care about the skippers on the sea; wherever He meets one, He just passes by, so that He does not bother the skipper in his freedom. 7. But when He meets a boat that carries His disciples, people who recognize Him and call on Him, He then comes closer to the boat, even though He would normally just pass by it, because the boat carries already His disciples, or in these men rests a heart, that loves the Lord, and believes in Him and calls on Him already. 8. At first, the heart is afraid of Him and thinks He is a phantom, which means… A person which is still filled with wrong perceptions about Me, and thinks its impossible or even a chimera (illusion or figment), that I could come closer to him in the world and even step into his boat. 9. However if his love does not diminish because of this, I will come closer to his boat and make Myself known, and once he has heard My voice, when I say to him… ‘Do not be afraid, for it is Me, your Master, your Lord, your God and Father!’, then the fear of the phantom will surely vanish, and the man will welcome Me onto his boat with the greatest joy! 10. See, this already is the entire explanation for the text! Only one question remains, namely… ‘What is required of the boat, which carries My disciples? Is it a scholarly built steamship, or is it a battleship with three masts, equipped with 160 cannons, or a frigate, a schooner, a brig or maybe even a heavily loaded market ship? Oh no! All these kinds of ships do not carry My disciples, these I usually evade widely, so that they won’t even perceive Me as a phantom! Who would ever want to come close to a ship that is equipped with cannons anyway?! Their protector is death; but the ships, who have death as their guardian, will surely go before death, – because death has nothing to fear from death. But where death surrounds a ship far and wide (firing range of the cannons), there life is passing by far away. 11. But how then must the ship look like, which carries My disciples? – I tell you… Extraordinary simple! A simple raft, just a few wooden beams tied together, where the skippers are just a few feet above sea level at most. It may not have any sails, so that it cannot be mastered by the winds of the world, but just concrete rudders on each side, so that it can be moved everywhere freely by the will of the navigators, untouched by the winds of the world. 12. When I step unto such a humble boat, I will recognize it as such a boat, which carries My disciples; I will approach such a boat and step on it. Why? – Firstly… Because such a boat does not move so fast because it does not have sails or a steam engine, but rather only rudders, with which not a lot of speed can be built up, and thus, I can catch up to it more easily. Secondly… Such a boat is not surrounded by death, whose friend I, as the Life Myself, am not. And thirdly… Such a boat can be stepped upon very easily, and without a lot of effort, for it is almost on sea level. 13. I am not a friend of great efforts, indeed, what cannot happen very easily, almost by itself, I am letting go, how it goes. – You’ll easily understand, why? Because every person has complete freedom, which will never be deterred by Me! 14. Wherever I find such a low boat upon the shaking waves of the world, which can be boarded comfortably and if I am recognized, I will step upon it, even if I were willing to pass by. And once I am in the boat, the day is coming immediately, and during day, the safe shore can be easily spotted, – and I, as a good captain, will for sure not miss the shore. 15. I mean, you will understand this explanation. Therefore, step upon such a boat as well. The lower, the better, – and I will also approach this little boat, and completely board it! Amen.

Chapter – John 14:18 “I shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you!” Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 19.01.1844 1. “I shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you!” 2. This text, again, describes the same, what lies before you, and what I always tell you, and what I now confirm again with this new gift, truthfully and in a living manner. 3. ‘I shall not leave you orphans’ instead, as also stated… ‘I remain with you until the end of time’, but certainly not in your worldly wisdom and great learnedness, which disgusts Me, but rather in the love and humility of your heart. 4. ‘I shall not leave you orphans’ does not mean… ‘I want to provide you with books of all kinds, and, next to that, with prayer houses full of carved images and portraits of Me, painted and carved in every possible situation, which belong into the kingdom of paganism!’ Because any external conception belongs to the world and prevents the opening of the inner vision, just as the person who does not close his eyes, is not able to sleep, and even less will he have a dream during his sleep, which is an internal view of what belongs to the spirit world. 5. Therefore, I do not want to leave you behind as orphans, if I allow it by My approval, that you can work out a lot of outer spectacles, which, at best, relate to Me, and, at the same time write a great amount of books out of your intellect, in which they will seek for the truth, in the same way as you set your numbers in the lottery, where nobody knows, if the number will be picked, which he has set, but rather, where everybody is setting on luck. And if his number will be picked, he will neither know the reason how and why it happened, and, on the contrary, why it did not happen, for everyone thinks, that his number is the best; otherwise, he wouldn’t have set it anyway. Only the aftermath shows him a different light; namely, that another number was better than his. He certainly will say… ‘I had that number already on my paper, why did I choose another one?’ 6. So you see, this example fits exactly the large number of writers! Everyone thinks, that he has hit the nail on the head. But it will not be long until another one comes and proves to the first one, that he has made a big mistake. And so it goes on and on, and at the end, the last one knows as little as the first one, if he has hit the nail on the head or not. 7. If one or the other comes across the truth in this or that subject, he still doesn’t completely know, if he has really found it. The only criteria for him is, that he has elicited a general applause from the world for his work, but it does not mean, that there needs to be a lot of effort to achieve such an applause. 8. I mean, the way the lottery people do it before the number is picked, so can it also be done with the writings, namely to shuffle everything, so that no one will understand, what the writer has actually wanted to say with it. In this way, all criticism remains quiet before such an elaborate piece of work, and thereby, the writer has cashed in an applause from the world with his work. 9. Question… ‘Is the promised Holy Spirit present in such works?’ – Oh no! Indeed, they are orphans… I’m not with those! The current text does not apply to those! 10. But perhaps it fits the painters, engravers, sculptors and gilders, which especially have a lot to do with the pictorial illustration of the so-called sacred objects, – but if they are paid, they also deliver battle pieces and all sorts of other obscene illustrations? – I say, these are orphans as well, and the current text has nothing to do with them! 11. But maybe it fits the sermon- and prayer-book poets, as well as the musical composers for the so-called church music? – Oh no! For those, the text does not apply; because these too float with the tide and they do everything for money. The first writes a sublime song, a prayer, a psalm, which would not even have put David to shame, if he had written it… looking at it from an outer perspective. But tomorrow, when he is paid, he writes, with the same enthusiasm, a sublime poem about the whore of a great one, as well as a sublime epitaph for a deceased lapdog of a princess. The second one, however, composed an oratorio today – however, when he is paid, he also writes a ballet or an even lower dance music. 12. Question… Can we see the virtue of the Holy Spirit there? I can’t find it. And if I cannot find it, you’ll find it certainly even less likely – and even if you’d like to find it with lanterns, in which burns a central sun instead of a bad candle! 13 But the Holy Spirit will be present in the wise state laws, in the laws of war, all kinds of regulations and even in the sharp, manifold ecclesiastical discipline laws? – Indeed, I can’t find him! 14. Why not? – Because I’m not in any of those things, but rather the only reason for them are worldly ruler benefits! Everything wants to rule, the emperor and the king, the prince, the count, the baron, the knight, the lord ‘of’, the merchant, the citizen, and also the farmer, and down from the emperor of course all his officials also, as if they were the personality of the emperor themselves. 15. There must be an emperor, a king or a prince; but they shall not exist, because of the ruling, but rather as guides, so that the nations by their guidance would be led to Me! But now, more often than not, they are derived from Me and turned to the world, and they won’t become strong, but rather are only made weak, so that they are even easier to dominate in their weakness! 16. Question… Is this the Virtue of the Holy Spirit, if the ruler perceives his subjects only as serfs, which his word can destroy at any time, should he utter it? – The ruler is supposed to be a leader and a comforter for his people, and he shall give them laws which are not of the heathen, but derive only from My Laws in an explicable way; then he would be a just leader, and the Holy Spirit would work with him, just as he has done with David and other worthy rulers. 17. But in the inventions of all kinds of machines, which made all those poor human hands dispensable, in the advancement of the industry, in the construction of railways, and in the formation of large war powers, the Holy Spirit does not operate ever! Because all of this was pretty normal also before the flood of Noah’s time, through the force of the worldly spirit, which is the devil in its entirety. It was the same in Sodom, Gomorrah and Babylon. 18. But who will assert, that this had been the work of the Holy Spirit?! Therefore, after this conduct, which was running straight contrary to the Holy Spirit, a mighty judgment followed. An equal judgment I have ready right now, to show you, that My Holy Spirit is not present anywhere in the current conduct of the world. Therefore, the entire world stands there as an orphan. But I will let it spiral upwards for some more time, until it reaches the right drop height, – and then a flash of lightning from sunrise to sunset – and it will become apparent in this light, how many of the Holy Spirit’s Virtues are now present in the world! 19. Well however, if so, where are those, which I will not leave behind as orphans? 20. I say… They do exist now and then, but they have become almost more rare and precious as great diamonds. They live a simple life, separated from the world as much as possible, and I am their joy, as well as the subject of their conversations! Why? Because the mouth overflows with whatever the heart is full of! Therefore I am also the topic which dominates their heart, and everything else in the world is an empty shell to them. 21. These are indeed no orphans; because I am there, in the midst of them. I talk to, instruct and draw them every day. These always hear My Voice and they also recognize that voice as the one of the true shepherd, and not as one of a hired man, which they do not follow, because it is the voice of a hired man. These are the ones, for which this current text is meant for. 22. Therefore, I need no scholars, no poets, no creators and no composers, no machine inventors and no worldly lawmakers. I only need humble hearts who love Me. Wherever I’ll find these, I’ll add everything else, and for sure in a better way as the world invents it. And then, everything will be a virtue of the Holy Spirit, and there won’t be any orphans in the world! But there are oh so very few, whose ear is receptive to My voice.

Jesus explains texts from the Scripture – Luke 11:20 “But if I cast out demons by the Finger of God, then the reign of God has come upon you!” Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 18.01.1844 1. “But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the reign of God has come upon you!” 2. This text says exactly what I always tell you. – What is the ‘Finger of God’, what is the ‘devil’ and his casting out, and what is ‘the Kingdom of God’, which comes upon you? What does the finger represent anyway? 3. The finger represents the small deeds, as the hand represents the great deeds. The ‘devil’ is the world, which should disappear from the people by the small deeds of love. The Kingdom of God, which is coming to you, is the love as the light of grace and the associated gift of eternal life. 4. So the Finger of God represents my caring deeds of love towards you people, and the gifts that I give you, come from My Finger. Because if I would say… ‘I cast out the devils with my hand,’ that would mean as much as… ‘I send a general judgment upon you’, as it was the case in the days of Noah… ‘But with my finger, I only drive the world out of you, so you don’t receive a judgment, but rather only a light of grace.’ 5. ‘With My Finger, I cast the world out of you’ also means as much as… ‘I am looking at those with a better spirit, who are still living in worldly distress. Those, I touch with My Finger, so that they’ll receive My inner Light of Grace.’ 6. In this Light of Grace, I show you what you have to do, and how easy it is to achieve eternal life, and capture the Kingdom of God, as it comes to you with this Light of Grace, and that means as much as that I demand from you only a little deed – so no deed of the hand, but only of a finger – which consists in nothing more than to love Me more than the world, and that you should do good deeds for your brothers and sisters, according to your strength. 7. If I would demand a great deed from you, you would have to do the same, as the apostles once had to do. Namely… to leave everything in the world, and, at the end, even taste the death on the Cross. 8. So, with just one finger, I cast the world out of you, and you think this is a lot already! What would you say then, if I were to lift up My Hand? – How much do I exempt you from, and yet you still think, it is a lot what I’m asking of you! 9. I say unto you… Do not put a lot of effort into the world; for she is not worth it! Why do you cram your heads with all kinds of troublesome junk of the world, when I offer and give you the gold of life in great abundance? Let the world go and receive Me with your heart! 10. What would you want to say to a man, who has a fruit tree in his garden? The fruit of this tree was ripe, and the man could have easily reached it with only a little stretching of his arm, and if touched with a finger, it would have been in his hand. 11. What did the foolish man do in order to reach this fruit more conveniently, and to show the great value he placed on this ripe fruit? – He was digging a foundation and raised a stepping altar in order to comfortably reach the ripe fruit. The altar was made ready after several weeks, but in the meantime, the fruit on the tree started to rot, and so, after finishing his great and foolish effort, he received instead of a fresh and living fruit from the tree, only a rotten and therefore dead fruit! 12. All those resemble this foolish man, who are looking for the Kingdom of Truth in the great learnedness, which could so easily be achieved in a living manner with only a small elevation of the heart to Me! Such scholars are digging foundation after foundation and build out of them troublesome and expensive stepping-altars, and once they are finished with the work, they achieved nothing but a dead and rotten fruit for all their work and effort, which has no value for the world , and even less for the spirit. Not for the world because it says… ‘Why such expenses and so much trouble for such low percentages?’ and even less for the spirit, because he speaks from his life’s sphere… ‘I cannot use anything rotting or dead’! 13. The ripe fruit is the very well-ordered spirit within man; why so much trouble to make the ripe one free, what each and everyone can achieve with only a little effort, the effort of a finger?! Why whole libraries in the head, when the only necessary thing is… ‘Love God above all and your neighbor as yourself!’ 14. I did not need armed armies to cast out the devils, but rather only one finger, which is My most serious Will to love. Do the same, be willing to love and use the good advice which I gave you, and you will also get rid of the whole world with the lightest effort and My Kingdom will surely come to you in a living manner! Amen.

Chapter – Luke 24:26 ‘Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things in order to enter into His glory?’ Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 17.01.1844 1. ‘Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things in order to enter into His glory?’ 2. In this text, we can again see very clearly, that the glory of the eternal life cannot be reached by great literacy or learnedness, but only through the deed, done out of Love. 3. One will certainly say here… ‘Christ was the eternal life Himself already, and He possessed within Him all glory thereof, why did He have to suffer thereafter, to enter this glory?’ 4. But I say… Christ was only a human being and He had to make – as the first basic example – the complete glory of God entirely His own through His deeds! And if He hadn’t done this, it would have been the end for the entire creation. For only in Him, Father and Son became one again or – what is the same as – the Divine Love and Wisdom. Because before that, the love had withdrawn from the wisdom, because the wisdom – in its greatest holiness – had placed itself on unreachable heights, and its demands were above all satisfiable possibilities. 5. But the wisdom was desolate without the intimate union with her love; but how could she reunite with her love? – She had to fulfill her own terms of reconciliation in the man Jesus; she had to humble herself to the lowest point, and only by that was the wisdom reunited with her love, which is the ‘Father’. 6. Therefore, Christ dispised all wisdom of the wise men of the world, being Himself the eternal, Almighty Wisdom of the Father; and all the scribes had to be an abomination to Him, if their deeds were not in accordance with the meaning of life in the scriptures. 7. He, as the eternal wisdom of the Father, had to do deeds of love and teach people the sole law of love. Yes, at the end, He had to let Himself be captured and crucified by the wisdom of the scholarly priests, and He had to suffer the humiliation and the complete darkening, being the original and eternal light of the Father or the Love. Therefore, He then also exclaimed… ‘Father! Why did You leave Me?!’ 8. But that He, as the original light of the entire infinity, had to endure this complete darkening, proves that moment, which was not understood by anyone yet, in which a complete darkening occurred throughout the entire creation – after the passing away of Christ on the cross, in which not only the light of our sun went off for three hours, but of all suns in the entire infinity. 9. And it was during this moment of the darkening, of which you know, that after His death, the soul of Christ descended into hell to redeem the spirits, who were trapped in the ancient wisdom, and to lead them into the new light, which began to illuminate the entire creation, after the Son was reunited with His Father. 10. Therefore, Christ had to fulfill the old law of wisdom within Himself completely, thereby He atoned for all aberrations against it before the face of Father; or the whole wisdom had to be crucified, by which the love of the Father was justified! 11. Well, God did this by Himself; so what do you want to do? Do you think, that you can enter the glory of eternal life by the justification of your wisdom? 12. If Christ as the Divine Wisdom Himself had to do deeds of love and preach in a living manner and had to crucify His complete wisdom, passing over into the greatest darkness, in order to enter the glory of the Father completely again, which was the separated love within Christ Himself, so men will have to walk on this path too, and they will have to follow Jesus, if they want to enter into the glory of His paternal Love. 13. In the early Church of the world, it was said… ‘You people can only reach the otherwise unapproachable Divine wisdom through the love of God!’ but with Christ it says… ‘Now, I as the Divine Wisdom Myself, am the way and the life, the door to the love, or to the Father! Whoever wants to reach the Father, he must enter through Me!’ 14. But how? Perhaps through the wisdom, because Christ, as the door, is the Divine Wisdom Himself? – Oh no… since exactly this Wisdom let itself humiliate down to the last atom! This wisdom, as the untouchable Holiness of God, descended deep down beneath all sinners; the one Wisdom, which not even the most perfect angelic spirit was allowed to look at in her basic light, now interacted with sinners and dined under their roof, and at the end had to eventually let herself be crucified by pagan soldiers and executioners! 15. From this endless humiliation of the Divine Wisdom itself, it proceeds ever so clearly, that no one can enter into the glory of eternal life with one’s own pompous wisdom! None of the studied books and writings will become steps into the Kingdom of Heaven for anyone, but only one’s true humility and the true laboring and vibrant love for the Father. 16. Within Christ, all original Divine Wisdom passed into the love for the Father; thereby, Son and Father became one. Likewise, it must be the case with man. Before he is not humiliated to the last drop in all his haughty intellect and in all desires, which result in all sorts of tributes, – yes, before he doesn’t put everything at the feet of the love, and thereby will suffer a brief darkening of all his worldly wisdom, he truly will not enter into the glory of the Father! 17. Christ had to suffer and do this, in order to enter into the glory of the Father; in the same way, every human being must do and follow Christ in a living manner, if he wants to enter into the glory of the Father. 18. But Christ had not studied at universities, in order to enter into the glory of the Father as a sophisticated wise man. Rather, His school was called… humility and active love! – But if Christ served as an example with a school like this, how do you ever want to enter into the Kingdom of God with any other school?! 19. I mean, more things about that will not be necessary; for this is clearly explained out of the deepest wisdom. Therefore, do the same, that you may live! Amen.

Jesus explains Scripture – John 11:39 Jesus said… ‘Take away the stone.’ Martha, the sister of him, who had died, said to Him… ‘Lord, he already smells, for it is four days.’ Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 15.01.1844 1. Just write down the central sun, like usual! 2. Jesus said… ‘Take away the stone.’ Martha, the sister of him, who had died, said to Him… ‘Lord, he already smells, for it is four days.’ 3. If you always choose such simple texts, whose understanding can be grasped with your hands in the same moment, I can’t always give you ten pages about it; because this text has already in its first position completely the same within itself, what I will make known to you throughout this whole addendum. 4. I also say to you… Take away the death stone of the world from the tomb of your love! Or in plain english… Do not strive to reach the life by equipping your mind with all kinds of enrichment from the learnedness of the world, but rather take away this stone, so that I come to your grave, and My living voice can penetrate unhindered into your grave and awaken your shackled and bound Lazarus from death, which is your spirit, bound and suppressed by ever so many chains of the world! 5. Also ‘Martha’ comes certainly to Me, the worldly concerned prudence, and it says… ‘Lord, he lies already four days in the grave and he smells bad!’ – But nevertheless, I will awaken the mouldering one to a new life, to show the glory of God, if only the stone is pushed aside. 6. But just as Martha speaks, so also speaks – as already noted – the foolish prudence of man and it says… ‘Yes, what shall we do? In our boyhood, then as youths, then as men and even as old men we have continually concerned ourselves with the world; our spirit lies already these four days of our lives in the grave of the world, bound with its chains, and it smells bad from all the sins that we have committed throughout these four days! 7. Will the Lord have so much mercy, so that he would wonderfully awaken us to a new life? – How can we expect something like this from the most Holy One, against whose commandments we have sinned so often and we have brought it so far through this sin, that our spirit has died also, that we do not even know anymore, if we have a spirit, or what he is, or even whether there is a living soul within our body or not?! 8. And even if we have a living spirit and a living soul – still, it is most certain, that the spirit, like the soul, are buried in our flesh and too bound with its chains, that we could ever expect of the Lord, the True and Holy one, to lower Himself to this deep level, to awaken this Lazarus within us with His Almighty Voice, and then guide us to our eternal destiny. In addition, we cannot completely and easily detach ourselves from the world, that we should expect such a thing from the Lord! 9. However, to that I say… I do not call and say… ‘Completely detach yourself from all the necessary interaction with the world, which is needed for your existence’ – for not even I have done such a thing, as I was on earth. I Myself have worked in the world and have done many good services with my own hands. And so I’ll never say to you… ‘Have completely nothing to do with the world!’, but this, I tell you… 10. ‘The stone, yes, take off the heavy stone from your Lazarus grave, and you shall soon be aware of the glory of God within you! But the grave must be opened, and then those, who are in the graves, shall hear My voice and be awakened!’ 11. But as long as you do not take off the stone from the grave, until then you are too much the prisoners of death, and I can scream like a night guard, and yet your Lazarus still does not hear Me, because the voice of love cannot penetrate the stone, since the stone itself is the true symbol of all lovelessness. A stone can only be broken and destroyed by the voice of My wrath; but My love does not use a stone before the mouth instead of a trumpet. 12. Such a stone is your worldly learned justification of your mind, it is solid and heavy, and it requires a lot of effort, to remove it from the grave. But despite of all that, it still must be removed. Because otherwise, My awakening voice will never penetrate the dead Lazarus within you. 13. The stone prevents well, that the nostrils of the world do not perceive the bad odor of the modern Lazarus within you. But I say… ‘Blessed be the one, whose stone will be removed from the grave and then his nostrils of the world are touched by the disgusting odor of the modern Lazarus; because if these things will not take place, where man does not tremble in repentance, seeing the state of his Lazarus, after the stone has been removed, My awakening call will not penetrate the grave of the modern Lazarus, it will not awaken him and let him unlock the chains of death! 14. I mean, one cannot speak more clearly about this, and you have received a more than sufficient and mighty light, to examine this largely important cause completely. 15. It’s completely up to you now to act accordingly. If you act according to it, you will acquire the living conviction, that these revelations do not originate from the mouth of man, but from My Own! However, if you only read it like any other worldly book, it will always be only a worldly book or the work of man for you! 16. And with these words, I end My great gift to you. But if you want more of these lights as an extraordinary addendum, I leave it up to to your love and your desire. I, however, will always be the friendly giver… Amen.
