Sermon on the Mount 17

September 779 in the year of the Romans-17

Excerpts from the Sermon on the Mount in authorial form

(Maundy Thursday, April 6, 783 A.D.)

To all other men must all that in eternity hath been, after my word and my word itself be taught, that they may know me and themselves in truth, and know from what reasons and causes, whence, wherefore, and to what true purpose each one once passeth through the realm of earth of this world, whither he goeth afterward, and what the true goal shall be and must be, if any will again enter unto me into my realm, unto the true eternal life.

The working observance of my word serveth the temporal and eternal weal and health of all who receive me in the true knowledge of me, and, honestly willed to observe my word workingly, will confirm, profess, and seal their knowledge of me, their faith in me and in themselves, through the acceptance of baptism.

I bring unto men in this world no new, empty, hollow, perverse faith, rising in inscrutable and dark mysteries, holding men in fear and dread, but the truth and the true knowledge of God and themselves.

They shall know that as soul and spirit they are like me of an eternal being, that they have received life in eternity at the beginning created by me for them, in the world of my heavenly kingdom created by me for them, from my own eternal life-force – and can never lose it in all future of eternity, in any manner conceived.

Well may the trinity soul-spirit-life lose the consciousness of its own being and life for time and times, but never life itself, because this is so inseparable from the spirit, as this from the soul’s own essence; and this inseparability with the soul’s and spirit’s own other nature is what maketh the triune being indestructible and indestructible. This shall and must men know, if they will attain to true self-knowledge, to attain through this also to the true knowledge of Him whose life-force is their own, through which they live eternally, because it is the eternal power of my being and spirit.

If they shall now profess and seal their true God- and self-knowledge, the knowledge of me, their faith in me and their good will to observe my word workingly, through the acceptance of baptism in my name and spirit, I have also gone before them therein; I have required and accepted baptism from my John, to confirm thereby also that I have not come to demand and command, but to serve all who are of good will, to make them glad, peaceful, joyful, and blessed through the true knowledge of me and themselves, to their own temporal and eternal health.

They shall know that I test no one, because I know each man’s soul-spirit disposition, will, and striving, that I lead no one into temptation, because I am the eternal truth, goodness, and love, which, immutable and unchanging as I myself, is utterly incapable of any kind of temptation to the impure, bad, reprehensible, and evil, and is infinitely far from it. They shall know that I cannot punish and take no revenge, because I am mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice, qualities which, immutable the same as I myself am immutable, absolutely exclude all contrary, and because each one who doeth evil judgeth himself.

Therefore can I also seek to intimidate no one with threats and curses, to bring him into fear, dread, and horror, to make him thereby compliant to me. Likewise can I plague, smite, torment, and condemn no one with diseases of all kinds; for all that, bound with nameless hatred against all true, good, beautiful, pure, sublime, and holy, are the soul-spirit qualities of the evil spirit of hellish darkness, qualities of the old Satan, who boasteth therewith in his Hebrew scripture, and in his so nameless and boundless bloodthirst, insatiably and insatiably demandeth the abominations of blood, burnt, vow, and atonement sacrifices on man and beast according to statute.

I test not, but I teach, and leave it perfectly free to the free will of each man, whether and how he will receive my word and myself. I lead not into temptation, but I teach whence, whereby, and by whom, why and wherefore the manifold temptations come, arise, and teach also how, with what and whereby man can overcome them, turn them away, and master them – and I say unto you:

The old Satan, whom the old Hebrew Jews, in demonic, dark intercourse, which is the infinite opposite of true prophecy, have raised to their “sole God,” as he hath declared them through covenants with them against all other men and peoples of the earth to be his chosen people, the same old Satan would be powerless with his own, if the men fallen to him did not act after his desires and make their earthly existence a hell to others.

To say all this and much more to men themselves, to save them from the darkness of ignorance, error, invented false and perverse teachings about God, “gods,” and themselves, from the falsehood, malice, and cunning of the “revelation” of the Hebrew God and the Hebrew scripture – this hellish pest, killing all truth and even the human in man, spreading the lie of eternal death – I am come! To lead them up to the light of true God- and self-knowledge, and through this to the light of life, to their own temporal and eternal health, therefore and therefore I myself am come; and this is my work of redemption, whose good fruit falleth to each one who receiveth it and taketh a working part therein.

John the Baptist hath proclaimed my incarnation: God the eternal truth is here in Christ the Lord!

I have confirmed the predictions of his predecessors, as confirmed by himself, and ye shall bear my confirmation among the peoples. The malice of the Hebrew God, the Hebrew scripture, and the Jews will seek to hinder and destroy it with the most diabolical means, but will not be able to destroy it. Recognizing this, they will do everything to make a Jewish event out of the great event of this time, of which I say it is the greatest event of all times of eternity; they will do this for the purpose of presenting me and you all to the environment and posterity as Jews, and subordinating me to their father, the Hebrew God – the old Satan – as “God the Father,” which they will succeed in time and with the help of self- and vain-seeking, Judaized henchmen from the peoples.

My glad tidings, my Gospel, which in part by John the Seer and Matthew is already written, and soon, after I have taken leave from the earth and from you, and shall have entered into my kingdom, shall be completed, will be falsified into numerous “also-Gospels” by the Jews in their father’s, their scripture’s, and their own sense and spirit, my word therein twisted, and Jewish things will be put into my mouth therein. This my Gospel will be disfigured by Jewish inventions, and many main points will be robbed, and so will it fare with the writings which ye yourselves shall write in time to the communities founded by you for me on earth.

In my name, the Judaized and baptized great ones from among the peoples will build and consecrate temples to the Hebrew God everywhere, will invent ever more high-sounding titles and dignities for their vanity, their megalomania, and their lust for power. They will name me and you with names which, however, will finally serve only as a signboard and lure for the vanity, the megalomania, and the lust for power of the temple superiors, which will secure good catch and great booty for them, the Hebrew God, and Judaism, but will make the earthly life and existence of men a hell, from which there seems to be no escape.

Many men will revolt against this, erect their own temples under their own names, but serve the same Hebrew God; many others will renounce all this, but thereby fall entirely into the hands of the Jews, be incited by them against the former, and now hell will be doubly represented on earth, to the old Satan’s malicious joy. For thereby he will receive blood and burnt offerings even without statutes, temples, and altars.

Men of one and the same people, the same language, and the same blood will mutually hate each other because of belief and unbelief, because of belonging to one or another temple, to one or another view, association, and party, fight each other to the death, cry to heaven and hell, pray and curse, invoke God, whom they will not know and will not want to know, yea, curse him and themselves; they will desperately cry to each other: Let us tear apart these bonds and cast them from us!

But the Hebrew God, the old Satan, laughs and mocks them, as it is written in the Jewish psalms; for he knows that his circumcised and uncircumcised worshippers and servants serve him, and only occasionally and under the compulsion of circumstances loosen the bonds he has laid upon men a little, only to tighten them all the more.

All this ye will see, hear, and experience from my kingdom. Ye will ask me, but I say to you even now: If John the Baptist, after receiving baptism from me, remembered all that had happened in eternity, recognized me, and accordingly proclaimed, God, the only true God, the eternal truth, has come down essentially-personally himself, he is here in Christ the Lord! – ye will thus bear me, my spirit, my name, and my word among the peoples, where many will receive me.

But Jewish falsehood, malice, and cunning will corrupt and bring it to pass as I tell you; against this, however, when the time comes, a prophet will come whom I will send to men, and through whom ye will again proclaim me in truth on earth, which alone I am eternally! If the Baptist proclaimed ‘God is here!’ – and I have confirmed myself and him before you and thousands of others by word and deed – the first true prophet after him will proclaim: God was here in Christ the Lord!

Let this be your comfort and knowledge now, if ye suffer tribulations of all kinds from and through the circumcised chosen ones of Satan and hell there because of my being, name, and word. This will be your comfort and knowledge, if ye live and work with me in my kingdom, and ye will have joy in the man whom I will send to a great people when the time comes; for he will willingly follow all your instructions, and he will not speak from himself, but ye through him. From you, who are mine, he will take, and he will glorify me in truth!

And if ye wish to ask whether he will find faith, I say to you that he will find as much faith on earth as I found there, and as ye will soon find there among the peoples after me! For the peoples are not Jews; among these I have awakened faith in only very isolated ones. For the darkness of the lie, once rooted and penetrating soul, spirit, and body, is inaccessible to the light of truth.

Many of the people, however, to whom I will send the man – when the time comes – will have recognized the Hebrew God and the Hebrew scripture so far from their own accord by that time and before, that they will reject these, but include me and you in the false belief that I and you have emerged from Judaism. To what extent they will bring forth the good will to the knowledge of me, ye will then see and hear for yourselves.

I say to you today that that people will bring forth the fruits of true God- and self-knowledge – though not immediately, but in time. But tribulations will precede and accompany this, such as have never been on earth before. The evil spirit of hellish darkness will rage through his circumcised earthly servants against the true, the poor, and the righteous, who will defend themselves, put a stop to the raging of hell against them, and in time also ward off all that, whereupon a better time will dawn for them.

In those days, the great people will then learn from you, through the man whom I will send to them and to you, the truth about the greatest event of all times of eternity in this time: the truth about me, about you, and thereby about all that which Jewish cunning, malice, falsehood, and Jewish hatred against all true, good, beautiful, pure, sublime, and truly “divine” has made of me, of you, of my Gospel written by you, as well as of your own writings about me and my work there on earth, first alone and then with the help of Judaized, selfish, vain, and power-hungry men from among the peoples.

Then will many know me and you in the truth, in which I wrought there with you, and in which ye, after me, will continue to work there, until I receive you into my kingdom. Many will receive me and you in the same truth, many, however, not! For they will hear and read that I have not ordained, founded, established, commanded, and willed anything of that which will be called my ordinance, my foundation, my establishment, my will at that time, and that I will have nothing of the like.

For I require of each one who will be mine and will again come to the true, eternal life in my kingdom, nothing but solely and alone that working activity which serveth the temporal and eternal weal and health of the community, the family, the friendship, the wider surroundings, the people, and mankind.

Then will many feel unease when they hear further that I send and have sent you to teach men me and that which I have revealed, said, and taught you, and, if they receive me and my word, observe it workingly, and wish to confirm this their free decision with the seal of baptism, to baptize them

In the name of God, who is Jesus Christ, in the holy spirit of his truth.

In many, my demand for working activity in my name and spirit, as I myself practised it there as a model and testimony, will arouse unease, if not even aversion, and they will turn away, will no longer hear, read, and wish to know, to nourish the excuse in themselves that they knew it not.

Those, however, who at that time, as the superiors, great ones, rich ones, high ones, powerful ones, respected ones, and all sorts of high-sounding title-bearing leaders of their temples and their believers, will hear and read that I have not come to found any of all that, that is, no new temples, no new priesthood, and thus a new and profitable trade there on earth, and have founded nothing of the like, these will raise a great outcry.

They will hear and read that I have not come, above all, to praise the Hebrew God and the Hebrew scripture as a pattern and model of true God- and self-knowledge, and to command you to impose it cunningly and hypocritically upon the peoples of the earth by teaching and praising it; I have come therefore to mark the Hebrew God with his many names and non-names, as the old Satan, devil, and father of all lies, the sense and spirit of the letter of the documents of the Hebrew scripture as the deepest soul swamp and the worst spiritual pestilence, as chosen ones of the devil, and all that together as the dregs of deepest hell.

Then all the circumcised and uncircumcised, anointed and unanointed servants, slaves, priests, high priests, and worshippers of the Hebrew God and the Hebrew scripture will raise a great outcry against the prophet who has come; they will assert that there has been no prophecy since the last Jewish prophets, will slander and persecute the prophet and his own, but will achieve the opposite against him.

My Gospel written by you will long since be gone at that time, but a whole number of Jewish and twisted, corrupted, and falsified “also-Gospels” and “epistles” in the Jewish sense and spirit; yet even in these so much of the true will be preserved that ye can draw the prophet and his own attention to it; this too will convict the Jewish and Judaized opponents of my eternal truth of their falsehood, hypocrisy, cunning, and malice.

Through the devilish hatred, the bloodthirst, and the murder of me, the Jews will convict themselves of their devilish servitude. But this would fade in the memory of men in time, and many would then be of the opinion that the Jews of their time were other Jews than at the time of my incarnation, and that the coming Jews had no part in what their predecessors had committed. But this would be a grave error, since the future Jews of the other time will indeed be other Jews than those of this time; but since the spirit of the Hebrew God drawn from the Hebrew scripture remains one and the same, the future Jews will also remain the same in soul, spirit, and body as they are today – and if there are today as in the future isolated few exceptions among them, these confirm the great and whole all the more.

The soul and the spirit are what shape the human countenance, which reflects the soul-spirit disposition and stirrings, even if it is somehow unsightly or even disfigured by violence. The earthly body is the tangible image of the soul body and built after it, therefore a product and earthly garment of the soul, which in turn, with the spirit inseparably eternally its own, receives external impressions through the earthly body organism built up there, communicates its own feelings, the will of the spirit, and the disposition of both in turn to the spirit; thereby the disposition of the soul and the spirit also passes into the flesh and blood of the earthly body, is contained therein, and can, under given circumstances, pass on partly or even wholly to the bodily of the descendants, that is, it is hereditary; the rest is completed by education and teachings.

The fact that the few Jews before the time of their return from Babylonia and soon again – after Ezra and Nehemiah – until this time do not descend from Jewish women, but for the far superior majority from girls and women of many other peoples of the earth, who in turn took foreign girls and women beside or without a Jewish woman, should have caused the Hebrew-Jewish type to have long since merged into the foreign in the course of the centuries.

Since this is not so, but since, on the contrary, the foreign mostly merges into the Jewish type, this is a testimony how transferable the type is, which is in their flesh and blood. To this also will come men of the great people in that future, which will also bring the prophet, through whom ye will again proclaim me and my word, my true Gospel, to men in truth.

Then will many recognize that the most devilish crime, which the Jews will commit against me this very night and the next day, and then against you in the course of time, has been followed by an even more devilish one, in that they have presented me and you as Jews, robbed my and your word of truth, twisted, falsified, and placed the Hebrew God and the Hebrew scripture above me and you.

Many will then recognize and receive me, many, however, not; these will partly bring their scholastic wisdom, partly the “venerability of the old tradition,” partly the greatness of the knowledge and skill of their time into the field against me and you. They will seek a way that leads past me and you to the great “unknown,” but will never be able to set themselves above me and you despite all their objections, because they would have to set themselves above themselves, that is, deny their own soul, their own spirit, their own life and their own existence, together with all their knowledge and skill.

Ye yourselves will soon, after I have gone into my kingdom, experience the strife and battle about my divinity and my humanity against the Jews and their Judaized henchmen from among the peoples, lead it, and persist in the knowledge of my eternal truth until your earthly end, wherein many, many will follow you.

If it went according to the striving of the Jews, the posterity would not be allowed to retain even the slightest thing of me or of you, of my or your existence, of my or your works. They would gladly eradicate and destroy me and you, my and your names, as their scripture commands them according to statute, which they will never succeed in doing. And recognizing this very soon, they will count me and you among their own, pass me and you off as Jews, that is, as having emerged from Hebrew Judaism.

From Hebrew Judaism and through it has never come and can never come anything truly human, let alone good, beautiful, pure, great, and sublime, serving the weal and health of mankind, because the falsehood, malice, cunning, bloodthirst, and vengeance, the misanthropy of the Hebrew God, the Hebrew scripture, and the Hebrew Jews, as the dregs of deepest hell, do not allow it and are incapable of producing such. Therefore, the Jews will do everything to twist the greatest event of all times of eternity Jewishly and present it as if it had emerged from Judaism – and they will enforce this with the help of selfish, vain, and power-hungry Judaized henchmen from among the peoples in the course of time!

Thereby the same peoples who know the people of the Hebrew Jews as the most cunning, but also the most treacherous, peculiar, work-shy, and barbaric, deeply abhor them, and hold the Hebrew God from hearsay of their scholars for a subordinate, limited, but rightly for a all the more evil, treacherous, and bloodthirsty demon.

Heavily misled by Jewish falsehood, a completely different opinion about the Hebrew God and the Hebrew scripture will be forced and taught upon them under devilish misuse of my name, and with the help of Judaized henchmen from among the peoples, they will bring it so far that the peoples will praise and worship the old Satan, devil, murderer, and father of all lies, the Hebrew God, as their “God and Father” in my name!

Noon:

About the noon hour, the Lord reminded his listeners of the meal – and as they, mindful of him and the holy mother, as well as his holy word, wished to abstain from it, the Lord spoke:

Even the purest and best soul-spirit nourishment cannot replace bodily nourishment, and the hungry one hears even the word of God only half. And as they spoke of the terrible things which, according to his word, were impending, they asked whether he could not avert them, or whether they, with the others of all his own, could not avert them.

But he, the Lord, raised his right hand and spoke:

None of you can prevent it, not even the otherwise so powerful procurator, who, without his cohorts, is powerless and will have to let it happen. Any intervention on your part would bring about nothing but unnecessary bloodshed and harm you.

The peoples know not that Satan holds this people in possession, rules them, and has chosen them to erect hell on earth, in which mankind, ruled by him, shall perish miserably. This would fully come to pass in the course of time and in a not too distant future, had I not come to thwart those plans which the old Satan, as the Hebrew God, commands his circumcised chosen ones to carry out in the Hebrew scripture under the most devilish threats and curses, without considering that they strive for the realization of his plans and promises of their own accord even without the devilish threats and curses. For they are of one mind – and therefore his chosen people, which wishes to rule all other peoples of the earth.

Calculating all things, they will pass off me and you all as Jews or as descended from Judaism, twist and pervert my spoken word and that written by you in the sense and spirit of their Hebrew God and their Hebrew scripture, and thus enforce it, falsified with the help of their Judaized henchmen from among the peoples, in the course of time also against my eternal truth, against you, and against poor mankind.

But then these same Judaized henchmen and helpers of the Jews from among the peoples will themselves strive to take possession of the promises of the Hebrew God and the Hebrew scripture, and in this sense and spirit erect a tyranny such as has never been on earth before.

From emperors, kings, and great ones over the smaller and small ones of this world to the day laborer, porter, and beggar, all will have to bow to their tyranny, for times even the Jews themselves. But even during this time, they will not forget for a moment that this tyranny over all peoples and men of the earth was promised exclusively to them alone; it must therefore be wrested from those who, as Judaized henchmen, helpers, and Jewish comrades, are indeed obliged to praise the Hebrew God and the Hebrew scripture as “holy” and to serve the circumcised chosen ones thereby, but who never have the right to pass themselves off as co-heirs of the promises of the old Satan and to dispute them with the Jews. This will give rise to open battles, but even more to secret, dark machinations and a contest between the circumcised and uncircumcised suitors for the beloved tyranny over the peoples of the earth.

The uncircumcised worshippers of the Hebrew God and the Hebrew scripture will so enrage their own kind by their immoderate and senseless, but also devilish lust for power that some will fall away and form opposing parties. But, possessed of the spirit of the Hebrew God and the Hebrew scripture like the others, they will achieve nothing better than those, and the battles accompanying this will impose blood and burnt offerings on the peoples, as the old Satan, the Hebrew God, with his hellish host wishes.

Already before and during this, the predictions and Jewish calculations and wishes written by Ezra and Nehemiah and attributed to the seer Isaiah will receive a confirmation which they imagined quite, quite differently than they wrote and had written:

Thou, Israel, shalt and wilt suck the milk of the peoples, and thou shalt not spare them, but rule them, kings and princes shall and will be thy foster fathers, queens and princesses thy nursing mothers; all and everything shall serve thee; they will fall down before thee upon their faces to the earth and lick the dust of thy feet!

– and, not enough of that, supplemented in Micah:

The goyim and their mighty ones shall lick dust like serpents, like the worms of the earth they shall creep forth from their holes, houses, and castles to thee, trembling and confused, they shall fear the Lord, thy God, and be dismayed before thee!

This will indeed come in that time, but not from the Jews, but from their Judaized and overpowerful henchmen, who, under heavy and impious misuse of my name, praise the Hebrew God as their father and the Hebrew scripture as “holy fundamental truth.” These will establish a tyranny which will force emperors, kings, and their peoples under them, spread fear, terror, dread, and horror before it, and erect a hell in many lands, to which hecatombs of blood and burnt offerings to previously tortured men will fall victim – including Jews themselves as victims of their and their ancestors’ work; and thus their work will take effect on themselves. And in many lands of the earth, Judaism will achieve this goal.

Further, the Lord spoke:

Faith cannot be imposed on any cognitive spirit, but must be kindled and kept alive in the soul by the power of the knowledge and the will of the same spirit.

If the will of the spirit is good, it strives and thirsts for the knowledge of the eternal truth, it will, if ye set before it me, my being, my spirit, and my word in the truth, which alone I am eternally, hear you, receive the light and life of the spirit of my word, and kindle the true living faith in me through the knowledge of me in its soul. Thus will it then be mine by the power of the knowledge of me and by the power of the living faith in me from its own good will, as ye are mine.

Ye bring the knowledge of me to the peoples, for if they are to believe in me, they must first know that I am, that I was there, that I have taught you and send you to them, so that through you they may recognize me, the eternal truth, attain to the true knowledge of me in the knowledge of me, and by the power of this knowledge participate in the salvation of the true eternal life in my kingdom in living faith in me.

He who is of good will will hear you, receive the knowledge of me from you, and believe in me of his own accord, without your having to persuade him and compel him for a long time, which ye must never conceive, for he who does not of his own accord bring forth the good will to the knowledge of me and to the true knowledge of me, does not want to believe in me, and does not wish to observe my word workingly, to persuade and compel him more is in vain from the outset.

Such knowledge, paired with such faith, has no true knowledge, and therefore such knowledge with such faith and vice versa stands in constant contradiction and doubt against each other and towards each other.

As many insights and all kinds of beliefs move, unfold, or even burden and poison human souls and their spirit, yet among all is none so effective, so significant, and of such infinite scope as the knowledge of good and evil, for every other insight and belief is first acquired, whereas the knowledge of good and evil flows from that living spark of the soul which remained to it once upon leaving my kingdom.

This living spark harbors much of the goodness once inherent in the soul and brought to it by all other aeons of time, from it springs unceasingly the knowledge of good and evil. It is also the foundation of the living conscience – and woe, woe to every cognitive spirit that seeks to stifle and extinguish the spark of conscience and callously calls good evil and evil good, as it just suits and appears advantageous.

Every such man does after the evil spirit of hellish darkness, for which he once turned away from me, left my kingdom, and followed him; for this evil spirit of hellish darkness and father of lies was the first who called eternal goodness and the eternally good evil and the evil created by him – and therein himself – good.

But since he can no longer persuade human souls on earth that evil is good and good is evil, he forbids the knowledge of good and evil at the very first place of his statutes under threats of death; he blocks their way to true eternal life and has thereby achieved that his people, full of his spirit, neither ask for good and evil in themselves nor in him, and only then call evil evil when they themselves suffer from it. For themselves, they demand only good from all the peoples of the earth, but the evil which they themselves inflict on others and under which the others suffer, this people calls good if it benefits them; and in such a soul-spirit disposition, they have long since stifled the spark of conscience in their soul to such an extent that they consider only themselves entitled to receive good.

End of Part 17.
