Excerpts from the Sermon on the Mount in authorial form
A Sermon to His Own – At Evening
After the Holy Supper – A Continuation
Further, however, spake the Lord:
Only then, when any man resolves to follow this my word workingly, and through the knowledge of me wishes to accept me and my word, and asks to be baptized, only then fulfill his desire. But be cautious and not hasty, especially when Jews appear, which will soon happen, also with evil intent, which ye do not perceive in them at first, but will soon find confirmed.
Also, not a few from the band of those Jewish Essenes will appear among you, who, having first heard John the Baptist, then also followed me, but soon found my word against the Hebrew God, the Hebrew scripture, and Hebrew Judaism “too harsh,” turned away, and came no more. Be especially on your guard against these, as against the Jews in general, because they are the chosen people of the devil and hell.
Nevertheless, I will also call a few from Judaism to bear witness to the peoples and to the Jews themselves, what good will in true knowledge of God and self is able to accomplish, which, however, will only be revealed to the peoples in truth when the time comes, of which I have often spoken and which I will bring about.
As every community of men on earth must have guidance, direction, and care, lest it fall into chaos, so also the community in my name and spirit, and therefore I speak of the fact that the members of every larger community should choose the most capable and suitable from among themselves, but then also be obliged to render the chosen ones truly loyal allegiance as long as they workingly justify the trust placed in them. But if they are convicted of an offense that contradicts the true knowledge of me, my word, and their voluntarily assumed office, they shall and must give way to worthier ones, which, however, will very rarely, if at all, happen, because the office imposes duties on its bearers that may bring them no gain in earthly goods.
Their further duties will also include maintaining contact with the leading and guiding members of the near and far communities through messengers and – where it appears necessary – also personally, so that in all individual communities as a whole there may be one and the same knowledge of me, one and the same – my – gospel, one and the same true knowledge of God and self, one teaching, one spirit, one will, one striving, and one working, for the temporal and eternal salvation of all who wish to be mine.
However, members who, despite their free decision and acceptance of baptism in my name, spirit, and word, do not strive to be working and lead a life that is a scandal to other members and even to outsiders, and who persist in it despite all indications, admonitions, and even requests, shall be excluded from the community, whatever office they were entrusted with until then, or even without it; for such a weed works perniciously on the whole, and ye, who have to fight against all evil in my name and spirit, must not tolerate it among you.
So it will be, so will ye work in my name and spirit according to my word, be working, win many to the true knowledge of me and of themselves, found many communities in many lands and cities, but at the same time also fight hard and sacrificially against that falsehood, malice, and wickedness of hellish darkness, which will use the Jews and the Judaized henchmen from among the peoples; these will do everything to drag the light and life of the true knowledge of God and self into the darkness and corruption of the Jewish swamp and suffocate it therein.
Centuries after you, your successors will continue the hard struggle against it, but little by little succumb to the devilish malice of the Jews and their Judaized henchmen, who have meanwhile become more and more powerful and violent. As before, they will then try to destroy everything that could lead people even to the trail of your real and true work.
They will crown their supposedly “full victory” with a megalomania such as has never existed before, to which everything from the rulers of the peoples down to the beggars will have to bow. But this will not be enough for their megalomania and will drive them further over the summit of what has been achieved with the most reprehensible and devilish means to the dark abyss, which will not swallow them up immediately, but will split them into numerous new henchmen of the Jews, who will burrow even deeper into the soul swamp and the spiritual plague of the letter of the documents of the Hebrew scripture and drag others into the same Jewish swamp with trumpet blasts and cries: Yahweh, Yahweh is God!
The Jews will joyfully agree to all this; but mindful of the covenant made by the Hebrew God with devilish oaths and sacrificial demands of man and beast, sealed by themselves with the shameless-bloody circumcision, against all peoples and men of the earth, and mindful of the promises that apply only to them, the Jews will secretly burrow. Then they will also publicly incite people to unbelief and godlessness, promise world domination to the poorest, create armies of fighters from them who will turn violently against everything that the Jews and their henchmen present to them as adversaries and enemies. Thereby, unprecedented struggles and tribulations will arise, which the Jews will exploit to make everything and everyone subservient to themselves, to exploit everyone, to plunder everyone, to assume world domination, and then the time comes of which I have spoken to you!
This for today, and I will remind you of all this again after I have risen, and tell you even more.
To the Hosts of the Common World
(7th April 783 A.D.)
My peace be with you! Comfort yourselves and weep not! For I have accomplished what I set myself to accomplish, which, however, in no way excuses the malice of the spirit, what he has done to me and will still do.
What I have said and will say to the small band of my own on earth and to the other people who wished to hear my word, I also say to you: I have suffered terrible things; for neither men on earth nor you have a measure and sense for my suffering and my pain. I will still suffer agonizing things; but the most agonizing suffering and the nameless pain is caused to me by the knowledge that all my working, all my suffering, and all my self-sacrifice have been offered in vain for so many!
Look around and turn to those hosts who, without their own light, look on from afar, lying like a dense fog, and see how close they are to the impenetrably dark abysses of the evil spirit, who exercises power over them and leads them, and how they follow him! They also, like him, know about the greatest event of all times of eternity, and they could easily come to me if they wished to be active in my spirit like you – and see, they do not come!
But because they do not wish to come to me – for eternal testimony and for everlasting knowledge, this also shall be accomplished – I myself go to them, and down to the darkest abyss of the living spirit I will call, preach, and reveal myself as I have revealed myself to men on earth. For they shall not have the lying and hypocritical excuse of having no knowledge of what has happened here on earth, because they know it, and I will convict them of this knowledge! And when I return from there to you, who cannot follow me there, ye will be amazed and saddened that so few have followed me from there – but it shall also happen for the sake of these few, for I would go there even for the sake of only one!
When this my work has also been accomplished, I will take my bloodless earthly body again, rise again in it to bear witness to my power, lead the small band of my own on earth for a short time further, strengthen them, and remind them again of all my words for the knowledge of all who will be of good will to hear them instead of me, to find me through their word, and, following them, to come to me.
And when this has also been accomplished, I take leave of the earth and come to you again as ye see me now. For my body borne on earth and my blood shed there remain to the earthly, that all who truly find me, wish to accept my spirit and follow me, may also have me bodily in the form of bread and wine among them on earth as I was there!
By the power of my spirit, I am omnipresent, thus present everywhere; but when they speak the prayer in my name and in my spirit over bread and wine in holy longing for me, which John has already taught to pray in my name, and I have taught to my own on earth, and when they remember those words that I spoke at the Holy Supper given to the small band of my own, I am truly bodily among them as I was on earth; and they will be of my spirit, and they will have me in the forms of bread and wine sanctified by the spirit.
My body borne on earth could never have experienced decay, nor my blood, and therefore both remain there, transformed by the power of my spirit into the forces that, themselves an earthly pure life, serve earthly life and will always be found where they are longed for by the power of the spirit that longs for me.
But all this shall also bring men to the knowledge and shall remain in their memory in all the future that God the eternal truth and the true eternal life is the only eternal true God, who has never demanded the abominations of blood and burnt offerings, nor will ever demand them. For such abominations are demanded only by the bloodthirsty, evil, and lying spirit of hellish darkness, who, through prophets of his lusts and greed, claiming to be God, urges men under threats of his revenge to offer him the blood of poor victims without number and without ceasing; and because he lets them promise all the advantages of earthly life for this devilish service through his prophets, they take pleasure in him and maliciously reject him who is the eternal truth and the true eternal life, the true eternal God!
But go and lead in peace those hosts who, through the greatest event and the hearing of my word, of their own good will, strive to escape the surrounding darkness, and also seek out the small band of my own on earth and strengthen them, for great is the tribulation they so willingly endure for my sake. But I turn to those who fill the swamp and abyss of hellish darkness and who do not wish to come to me!
As before, CHRIST also foretold to his own, even after his resurrection, what the evil spirit of hellish darkness would make of him and his word through his earthly servants, and as they looked up to him in dismay and question, he spoke:
Remember that every good seed, to bring forth much good fruit, must first itself seemingly die – and my word is truly good seed, whose fruit is the salvation of true eternal life.
He promised them to send his holy spirit of eternal truth in visible form as the true light, that they might be clothed with his power from on high and endure in his truth, when the malice of the servants of the spirit of hellish darkness would pursue them and his word, persecute, scourge, imprison, and murder them, that they might do a service pleasing to their god of darkness.
And he opened a wide future before their soul eyes again, as often before, and spoke:
The gospel of my word about me and my kingdom will be proclaimed to the peoples of the earth in a corrupt manner, and by misusing my name they will be led into grievous errors by many in my name.
One people will rise against another, kingdom against kingdom, brothers against brothers, there will be rumors of wars, uprisings will break out and wars will be waged, diseases, distress, and tribulations will be the signs of that time, but all this is not the end of this world.
Hosts will question the dead, and many false prophets will arise, driven by the darkness of the spirit that rules them, and as false Christs they will lead many into error; those who adhere to them, and even those who have fallen into a deeper darkness than before, will entice other hosts and say:
Come to us! Behold, Christ is here, he speaks with us in the chamber and does signs of wonders there, there he gives us the revelation of rebirth, he, the firstling of rebirth; come and hear what he and the God-graced ones from the heights say to us – and many will be led astray by these lies.
I tell you that all this will come and be the sign of that time in which ye will bear witness of me again, ye who are with me from the beginning and are my own. For a time ye will be sad with me about the malice of this world, which will rejoice. But I will turn your sadness into joy and send you the man through whom ye will convict the world of sin, of what it has made of me and my word.
Ask not today whether that son of man, when he comes, will find faith on earth, for behold, what faith I myself have found in the darkness there, I who am content with you few, because through you great hosts will find me despite the raging of the evil spirit. But I tell you that he will give you joy and be a comfort to you; for he will not speak of his own and from himself, but what he hears from you, that he will receive, that he will speak, and he will glorify me in truth, because he will take from you, who are my own, what is mine, and ye will proclaim what is mine through him in the truth which I am eternally.
Further, the Lord spoke to his own, as they, mindful of his word, his teachings, and his actions at the Holy Supper, spoke to him:
Lord! Since thou hast spoken to us:
Verily I say to you: When two, three, or more who call upon me are gathered in my name and in my spirit, I am in the midst of them! –
And since thou hast said further:
Verily I say to you: When ye speak over the bread and over the wine in my name and in my spirit: ‘This is his body and his blood, assumed by him on earth and given in his self-sacrifice for eternal testimony and for true knowledge, that he may remain bodily alive in these two forms as he was on earth’ – I am there – we wish to have thee, Lord, thus among us in the houses and buildings sanctified by thee through thyself and thy bodily presence. Thus shalt thou dwell among men on earth, and they shall have houses of God in which God is truly bodily alive as thou, Lord, art now among us.
And God the Lord answered them:
How ye will arrange all this shall be left entirely to you, for it is decisive that it corresponds to what I have said to you, what I have taught you, and what ye have recognized; that ye will introduce no arrangements that would contradict in any way, even incidentally, what ye have received, I know, and therefore I say that all this shall be left to you.
But I say to you that ye will not come to that at all. Those who will build temples in my name instead of you will not place my spirit, my word as ye know it, your knowledge, or your spirit above them, cherish them, care for them, and worship them, but that spirit because of which I have come to characterize him as the evil spirit of hellish swamp and pool, as the soul and man-slayer from the beginning, as the liar who invented the lie of his own, therefore the father of lies, as I have characterized him to his circumcised servants. Therefore they hate me as the worst "blasphemer" so infinitely and nameless, because he has raised them as his chosen ones and they have raised him as their God.
As the father of lies, he lies against me, who alone am the eternal truth; he also with his servants, as indeed everything that was once only soul-spirit before the beginning, has received life from me, from my own life force, and therefore I am the father of all life.
But if he reveals through prophets of his striving and through the documents of scripture that he is the father and God of this perverse people, this his revelation has just his sense and his striving, and is therefore now only a half-lie, because he is indeed the father of those qualities of the soul and spirit that distinguish and characterize not only this perverse people, but also all other servants and slaves of this spirit. Because they indulge in qualities whose father and creator he is, they are his sons, and he as such a creator and father is also their God, who wants those who are soul-spiritually closest to him to be also bodily marked by him as his chosen ones, and therefore relentlessly demands from them the shameless blood sacrifice of the foreskin.
And so that they do not try to recognize neither his nor their own works as hellish-devilish greed and desire, he forbids the knowledge of good and evil under threats of death and curses, and so that the truth of eternal life remains hidden from them, he sets up two of his devils who block the way to the tree of life with flaming swords.
But now the true tree of true eternal life is essentially personally there and offers himself to every cognitive spirit who is of good will for true eternal life.
The bloodthirsty God of revenge and father of lies knows how, in what way, and in what kind of power he himself and all the soul-spirit being has received life at the beginning from, out of, and through me. But because he must also appear to his chosen ones as creator and father of life, he also wants to be considered a God by them, lyingly seizes a lump of clay, forms it into a human shape, and breathes "life" into this clay nose. He thus wants to have "created" the living soul – and behold, even such a nonsensical-clumsy-gross lie is believed not only by the chosen ones of this liar, but soon they will praise other servants and slaves of this father of lies, and even in my name, as the holiest of all truths, and violently infect and poison half the earth with the plague of such a soul-spirit swamp.
Therefore I say to you: Not to me, but to this spirit of hellish darkness and bloodthirsty revenge will temples be built in my name, but without me, without my spirit, without you, and without your spirit, although your names will also be hung up as signboards on these future temples. And with great power they will drive infinite hosts of poor people into these temples and threaten them all with torture chambers, blood and fire scaffolds entirely in the sense, desire, greed, and striving of the evil spirit of hellish darkness, who will be placed above me as God and father of all in these future temples and will rule half of humanity from there for a long time and keep them under his spell.
Words of God Shortly After His Resurrection
But I say to you that ye will not come to that at all. Those who will build temples in my name instead of you will not place my spirit, my word as ye know it, your knowledge, or your spirit above them, cherish them, care for them, and worship them, but that spirit because of which I have come to characterize him as the evil spirit of hellish swamp and pool, as the soul and man-slayer from the beginning, as the liar who invented the lie of his own, therefore the father of lies, as I have characterized him to his circumcised servants. Therefore they hate me as the worst "blasphemer" so infinitely and nameless, because he has raised them as his chosen ones and they have raised him as their God.
As the father of lies, he lies against me, who alone am the eternal truth; he also with his servants, as indeed everything that was once only soul-spirit before the beginning, has received life from me, from my own life force, and therefore I am the father of all life.
But if he reveals through prophets of his striving and through the documents of scripture that he is the father and God of this perverse people, this his revelation has just his sense and his striving, and is therefore now only a half-lie, because he is indeed the father of those qualities of the soul and spirit that distinguish and characterize not only this perverse people, but also all other servants and slaves of this spirit. Because they indulge in qualities whose father and creator he is, they are his sons, and he as such a creator and father is also their God, who wants those who are soul-spiritually closest to him to be also bodily marked by him as his chosen ones, and therefore relentlessly demands from them the shameless blood sacrifice of the foreskin.
And so that they do not try to recognize neither his nor their own works as hellish-devilish greed and desire, he forbids the knowledge of good and evil under threats of death and curses, and so that the truth of eternal life remains hidden from them, he sets up two of his devils who block the way to the tree of life with flaming swords.
But now the true tree of true eternal life is essentially personally there and offers himself to every cognitive spirit who is of good will for true eternal life.
The bloodthirsty God of revenge and father of lies knows how, in what way, and in what kind of power he himself and all the soul-spirit being has received life at the beginning from, out of, and through me. But because he must also appear to his chosen ones as creator and father of life, he also wants to be considered a God by them, lyingly seizes a lump of clay, forms it into a human shape, and breathes "life" into this clay nose. He thus wants to have "created" the living soul – and behold, even such a nonsensical-clumsy-gross lie is believed not only by the chosen ones of this liar, but soon they will praise other servants and slaves of this father of lies, and even in my name, as the holiest of all truths, and violently infect and poison half the earth with the plague of such a soul-spirit swamp.
Therefore I say to you: Not to me, but to this spirit of hellish darkness and bloodthirsty revenge will temples be built in my name, but without me, without my spirit, without you, and without your spirit, although your names will also be hung up as signboards on these future temples. And with great power they will drive infinite hosts of poor people into these temples and threaten them all with torture chambers, blood and fire scaffolds entirely in the sense, desire, greed, and striving of the evil spirit of hellish darkness, who will be placed above me as God and father of all in these future temples and will rule half of humanity from there for a long time and keep them under his spell.
I have characterized this spirit, as well as the letter of scripture by which he confirms himself as a liar and Satan, to men and especially to his circumcised ones in truth and have clearly revealed myself to this world and confirmed myself; but the superiors and servants of the future temples will do just the opposite of what is of my spirit, and they will pervert even what is clearly left to them of it, and I say to you today:
They will be able to read clearly and plainly that I abhor the oath, among other things, because this outrage is also the invention of the evil spirit of hellish darkness to treacherously drag me, who alone am the eternal truth, into the filth of lowly earthly dealings, disputes, assurances, and violent promises of loyalty at every opportunity. He himself, however, has made his circumcised chosen ones, that they may believe him, swear again and again by all his self-given names and non-names, and he continues to swear; therefore, in my name, against my spirit and against eternal truth – which I alone am – they will swear to this dark and bloodthirsty spirit of revenge, command men to swear, and, full of the plague of the cunning and treachery of this spirit, they will violently drive mankind into the same swamp that is their lifeblood.
Again and again I tell you, and again and again you are frightened anew, do not quite believe it, as you have not believed and could not grasp for a long time that I sacrifice myself for eternal testimony and for the true knowledge of every spirit who is of good will, as I have sacrificed myself. I know that some of you still cannot fully grasp how it is possible that eternal omnipotence can seemingly give itself up so impotently to the impotence of the treacherous lying evil adversary, let the worst that the insatiable blood-revenge and destruction greed of the devil can devise seemingly pass over itself defenselessly, and calmly endure it.
But do those who think thus not see in this very thing the sad impotence of the evil adversary? No! For they cannot see how the evil spirit is tormented by forces that he draws from himself and that he stirs up in his own malice to the nameless, how he is consumed by equally boundless and nameless hatred, and how he behaves when he sees that I live my eternal life unchangeably in the same power of truth that is my eternal own, because I am the eternal truth, the true light, and the true eternal life, from which he also received his own. But for all that moves him, you have no sense at all, for there are neither words of any language nor any feeling in you, since only he and from his band those who are closest to him bring forth those feelings whose creator he is and which he has also understood to implant in these his own.
And therefore I say to you again: Let it be good that everything comes as it will come in view of the soul-spirit desert of this world, and in the free effect of the spirit of the same desert it cannot come much differently at first; in your suffering be mindful of the fact that even the very best seed must seemingly dissolve and seemingly die in order to rise and bring forth the fruits that are inherent in its being.
Like the good sower, ye shall also continue to sow the good seed of eternal truth, which I am eternally, undeterred, though the evil spirit of hellish darkness and his earthly servants may trample much of it and scatter much of their own poison among your seed, that it may perish therein.
For your comfort and better understanding I tell you further that if that which will come did not come, mankind would not at the given time experience and know everything about the existence and activity of the evil spirit of hell; it would never fully recognize him and his striving, in the course of time all this would not work out in itself, and the evil spirit would not confirm himself so much that very many would have to say of their own accord:
If such a spirit is presented to us as "God and father," taught and sought to be forced upon us, we are a thousand times better off if we rid ourselves of him and his servants and are human beings without such a "God-father" in true humanity, to whom his insatiable blood and revenge greed is alien.
That many will then reject me with this knowledge and with this decision will only happen because by then everyone will be poisoned with the plague of the lie that I also came only to glorify the same "God and father," the same Hebrew God for his falsehood, malice, insatiable bloodlust, insatiable revenge greed, and satanic destructive rage, and to confirm this dark spirit of hellish pool as "God the father."
The temple superiors, high priests, and temple servants of that future will cry "godlessness, outrage, and abomination," seek to bring back in my name those who are so "godless"; but they will immediately hold up to everyone whom my name may have attracted the same Hebrew God as the "true God and father," in whom one must absolutely believe, since I also – according to the letter that the servants of the Hebrew God will create soon and that will be issued as your work at that time – have glorified and worshiped him as the "only true God and father."
