Sermon on the Mount 12

September 779 in the year of the Romans-12

Excerpts from the Sermon on the Mount in authorial form

And I say to you this day, that this my call shall be heard in that time also; yet many will not hear it nor heed it, forasmuch as a like call shall be found before, and wickedly misused by those who – in my name – shall catch living souls for him whom I call "Father of Lies and Satan," but whom they, full of his spirit, worship and glorify as their "God and Father."

All this and worse shall come to pass. Yet be not overly troubled or sorrowful. For all this shall in time serve as greater witness and greater knowledge to every spirit capable of understanding, that is of good will, for many shall then fully comprehend all that has come to pass. This very thing shall be a great witness to true knowledge; for then shall that time come when you yourselves shall again proclaim me from spirit to spirit through the Spirit, in the same truth that I am!

In times past, my own have proclaimed my coming and my incarnation through true prophets, and now that I am here, this world – save for the small band of which you are the core – will not recognize me nor receive my Spirit, for I have come precisely to those whom Satan has chosen to be glorified by them as a "god" in this world, and to be the terror of this world through them. I say these things to them, and they hate me, they cry out that I blaspheme their god as no one has ever blasphemed him. They will put me to death, according to their boundless hatred, and therefore I have come to them, that my self-sacrifice might receive the hardest and worst from them, for no other people would have prepared the like for me.

I am here, to walk through this world once, like unto men, which I have created for the salvation of every spirit capable of understanding, once gone forth from my kingdom. My incarnation and my being bear witness that I do not shun even the heaviest afflictions of wickedness, I who have come into this world, which, despite the afflictions wrought here by the evil spirit, is the best that I have created for the salvation of the erring and misled spirit; let this serve as witness and knowledge that I do all to save whosoever of good will desires to be saved and to return to me in my kingdom, to true eternal life.

I am here, having proclaimed and revealed myself essentially and personally to this world through word and deed, and when I have accomplished all that I have purposed to accomplish, and when I have returned to my kingdom, you who are my own shall continue to proclaim and carry forth me and my Spirit.

The wickedness and treachery of the spirit of hellish darkness shall also persecute, torment, and slay you, seeking to twist your spoken word and to steal and destroy that which you have written; and because it will not fully succeed, it will content itself with the removal of the main points, and will so distort the rest that from the remnants none may clearly perceive who I am by the unchangeable and ever-same eternal truth of my Spirit.

Yet despite the raging of the evil spirit and his servants, my coming, my incarnation, my works, and after me also your works, shall not be extinguished nor remain without good fruit; for many shall recognize through you in the hereafter what the evil spirit did not allow them to recognize on earth, and as I have already told you, the time shall come when a prophet shall be sent to men, who, willingly serving them and you, is he through whom you shall again proclaim me, my Spirit, and my word from spirit to spirit through the Spirit, who and what I am, as also all that you have seen, heard, and experienced with me.

This also shall be a sign of those times, and many shall be able to rightly interpret the sign. It shall be a witness to true knowledge for them, and they themselves, by the power of the knowledge of the eternal truth – which I alone am – shall be saved unto true eternal life, and shall save with them all those of good will who receive what you shall proclaim in my name through the prophet in my Spirit; but you are already of my Spirit, and you shall receive the power of my Spirit visibly, for witness and knowledge.

In that time, a great number of false prophets shall arise, who, full of the spirit of ignorance, arrogance, and also of treachery, wickedness, and deceit, shall speak fair words, praising me greatly, and at the same time shall draw to themselves the erring, the troubled, and the spirit of many seeking inner peace. They shall claim that I myself, Christ, reveal myself and speak through them, I who could never reveal myself personally and essentially before, not even through the greatest of true prophets, and who can never reveal myself essentially and personally in the future; for there has never been a prophet, nor shall there ever be, who would be able to receive the power and light of my Spirit directly.

Had I ever been able to reveal myself essentially and personally through prophets, so that they and men might have fully known who and what I truly am in the power of my being and Spirit, I would not have had to come myself and become man. But this very deed is a witness of my power to come and reveal myself, which none other of the countless beings who rely on prophets for their revelations has ever been able to accomplish, nor shall ever be able to accomplish.

Never has even one of the greatest of true prophets said or proclaimed that God speaks through him; but all true prophets have always affirmed that they serve as mediators to those pure beings who know me and reveal me to men through them! Only the false prophets of the circumcised have always claimed that God speaks through them. Of what being and spirit this god is, the letter of the documents of the scripture of this people unmistakably reveals to everyone who does not himself feel at home in the swamp of spiritual darkness, and who does not wish to remain a child of this swamp.

My own have always striven to instruct even false prophets in my Spirit and to lead them to other ways. Without ceasing, they were active and strove to proclaim my Spirit, my coming, and my future incarnation through prophets, even to this marked people.

But the elders and leaders of this people have cruelly exterminated all true prophets, instructed by my own and proclaiming my Spirit, and have extinguished their memory and word, and have acknowledged only some of their prophets who, serving as mediators to the bloodthirsty spirit of hellish darkness, proclaimed him, according to his command, as the one god who has no equal among all gods. And truly, you also know, as do all the peoples among whom this people dwells, that this "god" truly has no equal, for he unites in himself all the spirit of hell!

That my own even strove for the prophets of this spirit, those few passages of the "scripture" of this people bear witness, which speak against the overall spirit of this scripture; there are only very few, yet shining out from the swamp of the spirit of this scripture, and I tell you even now that these very few passages will provide the sought-after handle for the treachery of the evil spirit to place the entire satanic scripture before my spoken and your written word, to link both scriptures, and to set Satan above me.

All this you shall proclaim again to men, when the time comes through the prophet of whom I speak, despite the multitude of those false prophets whom the spirit of hellish darkness shall use at that time, and who shall claim that I speak through them. Though convicted a thousandfold of their ignorance, arrogance, blasphemy, hypocrisy, treachery, and wickedness, they shall continue to claim it, to their own destruction; for many among them, without being prophets, shall practice this blasphemous deceit, and thereby give themselves as property to the evil spirit.

What will be possible in the future is and remains that a man of good will, pure heart, and prophetic nature will be able to see me in pure elevation of his spirit and in connection with my own, in the form that I have assumed: he will be able to see Christ, as the hereafter will also have the possibility to see me from time to time.

It may be that a man, in pure elevation of his spirit, will be able to hear my word. But never will men, not even through such a prophet, be able to hear my word in the manner in which it is possible for the beings of my kingdom, the beings of light, and those of the hereafter to give it to them through prophets; nor is it necessary that I seek to reveal myself in this manner, since I am now here, and it will suffice any spirit of good will when my own reveal me as I was.

But the beings who reveal to men through prophets another eternal truth, another eternal life, and another true light, another true way, and another god above me, are all tools of Satan; they themselves are full of the darkness of his spirit, insofar as they are not perhaps themselves poor ignorant, erring, misled, blinded beings of such a petty and cloud-covered spirit who do not know what they do, and who willingly serve the evil spirit in this manner simply because others find pleasure in it.

But the time is at hand, which will soon be completed through my suffering, and already tomorrow the evil spirit of the hypocrites makes preparations for it. To you, Lazarus, I say that you will no longer see my suffering and my further works with your earthly eyes, but from where you were for four days, and from where I have called you back for witness and knowledge for many. Now go in peace and leave me; for even the children of my kingdom and its light desire to speak with me.

Therefore, if the emperors and kings have introduced coins for the sake of order and direct them to that which benefits and is useful to all, then willingly give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and give to God what is God's, your good will to the knowledge of the truth, which He is!

And further spoke the Lord to the Pharisees, scribes, and Sadducees:

For a long time, you have sent your Echaimen to meet and follow me, that they may represent me as the "Son of David" and induce those who follow me to call me their king, so that I may fall under the law of the Romans. To this end, and to confirm the rumor not only to those from heathenism but also to the poor of your people who follow me, through your scripture, you have equipped the Echaimen with the written word of David, that they may go and ask all those who follow me:

"What do you think of CHRIST, the Lord? Do you know whose son he is? He is the son of David and the one who will take the yoke of the Romans away from our people; for he is the one whom David also calls his lord, as he speaks through the spirit in the spirit: 'The Lord said to my lord, sit at my right hand, until I make all your enemies a footstool for your feet.'"

Many of the poor have believed these lies, because they are incapable of thinking for themselves. But the greater part—thinking!—immediately confronted the Echaimen with the contradiction, how he whom David calls his lord could be the son of David?

Woe to you, scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites! You well know that the treacherous intruder, assassin, and murderer of throngs, David, meant by the "lord" to whom "the Lord," your god, says, "sit at my right hand," none other than his guide and leader, the treacherous Asael Samuel; this one waited eagerly at the right hand of Satan until not the "Lord," but his as learned as bloodthirsty protégé, David, sent not only the honest, poor King Saul, but also his entire house with mountains of poor victims of his bloodlust—full of the spirit of the two lords—devilishly cruelly into the pit!

But I say to you, hypocrites: Not a single one of these poor victims serves the two "lords" as a footstool for their feet, and not a single one stands even near that dark pit in which the two "lords" and their devoted servant David are stuck, each regarding the other as a footstool for his feet, and ceaselessly looking out for ever new such footstools. Rarely does a servant lag behind his lord when he sees that his works please his desires well, and soon the desires of the lord are also the desires of the servant.

As heavily as your David is laden with guilt and flooded with blood, as much as he raged on earth full of the spirit of his overlord Jehovah-Zebaoth and his second overlord Samuel, and as great throngs of poor innocent victims he cruelly tortured and sent bloodily into the pit, he had still not satisfied his and his two "lords'" desires for bloodlust and blood frenzy; for even in death and facing the pit before which he himself stood, he felt compelled in his bloodlust, vengeance, and destructive fury to instruct his son Solomon, who was quite worthy of him, to be wise and not to forget to send the gray hairs of this and that man bloodily into the pit! And as David created his damnation, so you hypocrites create the same, building hell on earth, feasting on the torment, distress, need, and despair of the poor!

Woe to you, scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, elders, hypocrites, who create hell for the poor, imagining heaven in your glory! For in this alone all those promises that your god, whom you praise, has given to your fathers through the prophets of that spirit, and full of his deceitful spirit, you say secretly to yourselves:

Our god knows no eternal life of man, but only his birth, a short being—and the pit; therefore, his promises apply to the being between birth and the pit. But we see clearly that not all can partake of these promises of wealth, well-being, prestige, glory, and power; for all this can only exist if the far greater part of men serves the enablement of such promises! Well then, let us not be the servants, but the rulers! For thus thinks our god Zebaoth, who blesses only those who know how to seize power and glory at the expense of others!

This is your spirit, the spirit of the documents of your scripture and the originator of the spirit of this scripture, who himself, through the spirit of the letter of the documents of your scripture, unmistakably confirms himself as the spirit of hellish darkness, as Satan, and as the prince of this world. How do you hypocrites want to escape the pool of hell when the "god" of hell is your "god" and father, and when you, full of his spirit, are already building hell here on earth in one of his many names?

Woe to you, scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, and elders, hypocrites, who praise the same evil spirit of hellish darkness as the "god of all gods," who invent ever new deceitful tales and force the poor to believe that this Satan is the true god! But when thinkers and scholars of peoples of purer soul and spirit than you approach you with disputes about the nature of this your god, you immediately put on another mask! You hypocritically and treacherously indicate to them that, just as they have documented their god and hero legends in writings, you have done likewise, and therefore your scripture has no other meaning for you than their scriptures for them!

And if they hold before you the impure, bloodthirsty, incompatible with the simplest humanity, with the simplest sense of justice, shameless, deceitful, and evil spirit of your scripture in the face of countless irrefutable facts, you hypocrites find no other answer than a treacherous shrug of the shoulders, deterrent hand gestures; and where you cannot take revenge in the spirit of your god, you hide it with boundless hatred in your heart!

For you well know that the intercourse of your prophets with the beings of the spirit of your "scripture" is not legends, but facts, the fruit of which is precisely this your scripture, an intercourse that other peoples had long known and practiced before you and your people existed, an intercourse that brought much evil besides much good, but never before offered the evil spirit of hellish darkness the opportunity to rise to be the sole "god" of a people. For only through your prophets and through you is he the sole god of your people because of his promises, and—truly you are his chosen ones!

Woe to you, scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites, who well know that there have been not only the few "prophets" of a quite different spirit in your people, recognized by your fathers and by you, but thousands of them, who therefore all had to die agonizingly under the most exquisite tortures because they revealed a different spirit and a quite different god than yours.

And when this truth is held before you, how do you hypocrites speak? You say: Had we lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have participated in the blood of these prophets!

You hypocrites are the same sons of your fathers; for how many prophets of the Essenes have you murdered in your and recently past days, who were lured to the border of Galilee or dragged there as prisoners, so that their blood would not be shed within the border of the proctor Pilate's sovereign rights, but in the territory of Herod Antipas? According to the law of the scripture, he placed a blindfold before his eyes for thirty to fifty shekels a head and let you sacrifice the condemned until it came to Pilate's ears, who, regardless of Herod's sovereign rights, sent his men to track down such new horrors and forcibly stop them.

But since his men found the condemned already bleeding there, they immediately mixed the blood of the victims with the blood of the entire band of murderers on the spot, reported to Pilate, and he threatened Herod with things that frightened him all the more because Pilate from then on had the border sharply guarded by the Sebastean centurions, thus making it impossible for you and Antipas to carry out such horrors any further. Therefore, your hatred for him knows no bounds, and Pilate to this day refuses to be friends with Herod.

Here stand two of Pilate's confidants, the centurion and his men, who know exactly that I speak the truth, and they, like you, shall hear that the proctor and Herod will become friends because of me; which I tell you so that when it happens, you will also remember this my word.

Woe to you, scribes, Pharisees, elders, hypocrites, since the blood of Zechariah clings to your hands, of whom you say he is the father of John the Baptist, the greatest prophet of all times, who likewise became a victim of the endless bloodlust and vengeful desire of the spirit of hellish darkness. You brood of vipers and offspring of adders! How, I ask you, do you want to escape the pool of hell?

Zechariah, who as your priest turned his back on you and your god because he attained the knowledge of the eternal truth, you dragged before the altar of your god in Sepphoris, which you call the city of Judah, and there cruelly murdered him in the spirit of your god. And the murder of John the Baptist? Was that solely the work of Herod? You brood of vipers! It is your work, and Herod your tool for it!

Even among yourselves, you spew your own poison into each other's faces; for what do you Pharisees and scribes say when the Sadducees ask you how and by what death poor Aaron died, since he ascends the steep height in good health with Moses and Eleazar, and there, at the command of your god, must die as a healthy man? It is written: "There you shall take off his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered to his people there." What answer do you hypocrites give? Lies, for you hypocrites are yourselves the embodiment of lies!

And again I say to you: What does it avail to preach the light of eternal truth to the darkness of hell, when your spirit will not turn away from the bottomless swamp of the abyss of hell, because it is overflowing with the desires of Satan and the father of lies? You hypocrites, fill up the measure of the devilish blood deeds of your fathers for an eternal witness and knowledge of who you are, who your god is—and who I am!

Jerusalem, Jerusalem! How often have I sent my own to this people, who once robbed your walls from a peaceful people and now dwell there, and wanted to gather them under the rays of the spirit of truth, as a hen calls her chicks under her wings—and this people has murdered all whom I sent to them as prophets with torment!

How often have I myself spoken to the elders, leaders, and powerful, how often to you yourselves, what works have I done—and how often have I cried "Woe to you!" to them and to you! How often have I asked nothing more from you, Pharisees, scribes, Sadducees, elders, hypocrites, than simply to tell me openly whether he can be a god, whether he can be true, good, just, and the father of life, who chooses you alone from all mankind and shamelessly makes an "eternal covenant" with you alone because of the bloody foreskin against all other children of men?

And when I have shown you hypocrites that to be a blasphemer of God, I would have to blaspheme myself, which is impossible because I alone am the eternal truth, the true light, and the true eternal life, and therefore cannot blaspheme myself, and that your cry of "blasphemer" is no answer to my question, you, overflowing with the spirit of this your god, have cried out to me:

Our god is not the god of men, but only our god, whose sons we are by the covenant of circumcision and by the promises given to our fathers by him. According to his law, only the circumcised of our people is our brother and neighbor, all others are our enemies, and as it is written that we must exterminate, rob, or enslave every enemy, we do it without asking whether it is good or evil. For it is good for us, and even if it were ever so evil, it remains good because our god wills it so! Praised and thrice holy be our god Zebaoth, the Lord of hosts, who has chosen us from all peoples and given his promises to us alone; for his goodness to us endures forever, since only we, the sons of his firstborn son Israel, are also his sons, and he alone is our father!

This your father is Satan, the murderer of souls and men from the beginning, the leader of every evil spirit, who has not stood in the truth, who has invented lies of his own, teaches and speaks lies, and is therefore the father of lies, after whose desires you also do, who are truly his sons!

When the Pharisees and scribes threatened to have Christ stoned by the people for "blasphemy," the heathens and some Jews turned against it in anger. But Cartophilus, a confidant of Pilate, put a stop to the raging of the Jewish elders.
