Sermon on the Mount 24

September 779 in the year of the Romans-24

Excerpts from the Sermon on the Mount in authorial form

The Words of God Shortly After His Resurrection – A Continuation:

The evil spirit of hellish darkness, the author of lies and malice, hath set himself a goal, but will achieve the very opposite, because he hath resolved to outstrip and trample down the eternal truth!

The truth is the immutable and unchangeable spirit of God and will therefore endure eternally, in the being and through the being of God. The eternal truth goeth immutably and unchangeably the way of goodness, love, mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice – qualities which in their entirety are the eternal truth of the spirit whose being is the being of God, Who is immutably and unchangeably the same eternal God!

Every spirit capable of knowledge and free can also go this way by his own good will, and as soon as he truly and earnestly even trieth to go it, he is spiritually similar to the spirit of eternal truth, the spirit of God, My spirit, and Me also in being, as My, God’s, image. All beings of the spirit are images of their kind; but two beings of the same kind, however similar, are not equal, because they are two, and each is another to his like, however similar. Therefore, soul-spiritually living beings, insofar as the unfolding of the soulful and spiritual abilities alloweth, can outstrip each other, and it is the spirit of the human soul which, of good will, can unfold to that true knowledge which, if he acteth according to it, maketh him Godlike!

But since God is most perfect in His being, spirit, and life from eternity, immutably and unchangeably the same, many differently constituted, changeable, knowledge-capable spirits of good will can indeed become like God, His image, but never become God Himself in their own spirit and in their soulful being. For as God Himself cannot outstrip Himself, because there is no greater perfection by the power of His eternal being, His eternal spirit, and His eternal life outside of Him, so also no other spirit can outstrip himself, because the limit of his unfolding is grounded in his spirit and the being which is inseparably his from eternity.

But a spirit who rejecteth the truth and maliciously and violently seeketh to break through or circumvent the limit of the possible, not only will not be an image of God and not a god, he will be more, he will outstrip God, and since it is impossible, he seeketh an opposite of the most perfect, pure, and holy, an opposite of the eternal truth: he inventeth lies, through whose malice he becometh an adversary of the eternal truth of the being and spirit of God, and creating in these his qualities, he also formeth his own world, his own kingdom, which is the opposite of the kingdom of God, the soulful-spiritual abyss, the darkness of hell.

The teaching concerning the spirit is the highest teaching, and therefore I teach you to recognize the spirit. The prophets, seers, and wise men of all times on earth taught the spirit and called upon men to lead a life which corresponded to the will and striving of the spirit which revealed itself to them and through them. Many of them came near and very near to the knowledge of the eternal truth, because they heard Mine who stood in the light of the eternal truth, often saw them, opened their soul and heart to them, and received Me through them, without knowing Me.

But other mediators also appeared, who opened their soul and their heart to the beings of another, a dark and evil spirit, and who received through these a spirit which is the very opposite of My spirit; they taught and still teach men this spirit, without truly wishing to recognize him. They taught and teach such a spirit as the spirit of truth, because he is the spirit of their lusts and their greed, because they are similar to him in the essence of their soul and their spirit, and can neither leave him nor wish to leave him.

For his depravity is so infinitely great that the worst of the abominations committed by him, measured by the standard of this Satanic spirit, are not regarded as such, but by the men of his striving as a necessary „fulfillment of duty“ which stilleth the greed and the law of this spirit, hypocritically and maliciously, and are also regarded by ignorant others as an unavoidable evil in which they participate.

The teaching concerning the spirit was on earth from the beginning, and as long as men learned through this same teaching of two spirits of two infinitely contradictory beings, the teaching was sufficient for the knowledge of goodness and malice and for the choice of corresponding action, and a special, essential-personal intervention of the One, of a being and spirit powerful enough for such an intervention, was not absolutely necessary.

But the „fathers,“ seers, and prophets of this marked people, at the instigation of the dark and evil spirit, took up the „teaching concerning the spirit“ in such a way that all truth and lies, all goodness and malice, all blood, revenge, and lust for destruction were united in one being and spirit; they thus resolved that such a being could be omniscient and omnipotent enough to command, demand, promise, and fulfill good and evil at the same time as good.

When they had then made the choice to recognize this spirit as their „sole god,“ to satisfy his blood and revenge lust with bloody and shameless sacrifices, treacherous and bloody acts of violence of all kinds, for the sake of the evil and unjust advantages promised to them by him, to make themselves and all other men subject to this spirit, so that the whole world might become the abyss of hellish darkness, then that which the spirit of truth had resolved in eternity when He gave life to all soulful-spiritual beings, and which He had revealed through true prophets of all times and peoples, had to happen:

God Himself had to appear among men as a man, He Himself had to come to give them knowledge of Himself and His spirit of truth by the power of His living word, and I am here!

Behold how this world hath received Me from the day of My appearance as a human child, and how the followers and the hereditary sons of the spirit of darkness deal with Me until this day, when I soon take leave of you to enter again into My kingdom and yet remain with you.

And the same that they have prepared for Me since the first hour of My appearance as a human child on earth, they will also endeavor to prepare for My word preached and written by you. As they have succeeded in disfiguring the body which I assumed there, so that even you are horrified before Me, so they will succeed in disfiguring My word, which two of you, whom I have chosen for this, namely John and Matthew, will write.

The old Satan will rejoice, and his own will exult; for he will prove and confirm himself precisely there as the „god“ of blood and revenge lust, corruption and power in his and their dark spirit.

He remaineth the same „god“ to many as now. Many will make Me subject to him and therefore place Me beside him; but many will equate us as one, and in terrible contradiction to such a unity, they will seek to sacrifice Me to him anew thousands of times every day, and the soulful-spiritual darkness will become seemingly impenetrable.

Ye do not yet fully and completely understand all this today, because all this lieth in the distant and yet so near future. It should not and must not happen; but since the lie, the malice, and their author are there, and since free will must not be taken from him and from the men who incline to him, it will happen as a testimony and for the knowledge that Satan with his own is essentially personally there, but that I also continue to be there in My spirit of truth; and at that time ye will again bear testimony of Me, My true being, My true spirit, and My true word!

The Words of God Shortly After His Resurrection – A Continuation:

My being and My spirit is the eternal truth, with which goodness, love, mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice are one in My being and in My spirit! The smallest thing that speaketh and acteth against the pure power of any of these My immutably equal qualities is not My spirit!

The pure power of truth is grounded in the six other pure powers, all individually in all the others, and all together as their own most perfect pure power in the holy being and spirit of God.

If anyone telleth you that he is true, then try whether he is also good, loving, and merciful to every being, how he forgiveth, how he sacrificeth himself, and how he is just. Especially shall ye recognize by his justice how he is true; for if he is true, he will never judge!

Because I have said this to the Pharisees, scribes, and other Jewish elders again and again, they cried out in fierce anger and sought to stone Me. They would not hear that their law, which insatiably demandeth blood for blood, tooth for tooth, eye for eye, life for life, blood and burnt offerings, which prescribeth ceremonies of hellish darkness, broodeth revenge and destruction, is a law of the Satanic spirit! „In this spirit ye judge!“ I have repeatedly said to them. Go to Me and see what it meaneth: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice!

Judge not, for ye judge yourselves by your judgment; ye have seized power to judge by force. But force is the fruit of lies, and your judgment is a lying malice, if only because every punishment is an evil retribution and, as such, a hypocritically disguised revenge. It is the spirit of darkness of your „god,“ who is a Satan in his insatiability for blood and revenge.

I judge no one! I have not come to judge, but to make the world blessed through My word and through My spirit of truth, that through the spirit and through My word My kingdom may also come to you, if ye will heed My word and actively follow it.

Ye think that the spirit of God is with you, resteth in you; but I say unto you, ye Pharisees, scribes, and elders, that the spirit of your god is not only with you and resteth on you, more, much more, for the spirit of your god is in you! Ye are so full of him that he looketh out of your eyes, speweth poison from your mouth, becometh visible in every movement and action of yours, that his image is reflected in your countenance, and thereby marketh you as his chosen ones! However much ye may cover the visible blood sign of his and your covenant with him, ye bear the stamp of his spirit in your face, and are thus marked, so that no other man will mistake you now or in the future, for testimony and knowledge.

God is the truth, and the truth am I!

Ye circumcised hypocrites mock Me and maliciously ask again and again what I make of Myself! Ye will not comprehend the greatness of the pure eternal truth and will not grasp the holy being of the same eternal truth, that I have made a man of Myself, Who is the poorest of the poor in earthly goods and possessions, and Who maketh Himself nothing other than Who He is eternally. I have come to tell you and the world the truth, that ye may recognize the true, eternal, living God in Me through My spirit and through My word, and that it may be revealed to you in Me that your „god“ is the being of the abyss of hellish darkness: Satan!

All this and infinitely more have I said to them. But they have become even worse, because they have recognized the truth in Me and through Me. The truth, which they had only suspected before, now stood personified before them in a poor man, and this poor man made known to them through His word a spirit before whose power and greatness their own darkness and the darkness of the spirit of their god became manifest to everyone!

His word was confirmed by the poor man through actions and works, the least of which infinitely surpassed their knowledge and ability, as well as the knowledge and ability of their „god,“ and clearly indicated to them his inability to accomplish great things in truth and goodness, while it testified and confirmed the ability and power of My spirit.

Their god and they accomplish great things in his spirit and according to his law in lies, malice, bloodthirst, revenge, hatred, persecution, violence, and destruction. They turn all the powers which are the spirit of their god against Me, because they have recognized the eternal truth, God, in Me, in My spirit, in My word, and in My works.

But they do not want to recognize Me because they already have a god whose promises correspond to their own spirit and striving, and because I tell them the truth that their covenant with him and his promises to them are the greatest blasphemy and a blasphemy against the holy spirit and the eternal truth, and confirm the Satanic spirit of their god.

But for you, who have walked with Me for so long and have heard and seen all this, this shall serve as a lesson and for further knowledge that the spirit capable of knowledge to whom the knowledge of the eternal truth has been given is still very far from being true and good himself, or from having to become so.

Verily I say unto you:

Many of these men have recognized Me and My spirit through My word, My being, and My works earlier, sooner, more, and better than you initially, even though you have always been with Me, but they not always; they have recognized sooner because their spirit is greater than yours. But has this knowledge made them true and good, or even improved them by the smallest thought?

Nay! The very opposite has happened, because the dark knowledge acquired is everything to them. In it they could and can justify the dirtiest, most terrible, and most shameless, approve every act of violence, destruction, and abomination, call every malice, lie, retribution, and revenge just and pleasing to God, because the god who leads them to this knowledge himself demands worse, does worse, and is insatiable in all this. Now many of them also have the knowledge of the eternal truth, and they also have the knowledge of the lie in abundance. It depends on each one of them alone which choice he makes, which spirit he chooses to act according to! But which choice most of these men have made, ye see in Me, before Whose appearance, in view of the terrible wounds, ye have been horrified.

And other scribes, Pharisees, and elders will come, who, though not circumcised, will give themselves other names, and they too, despite better knowledge, will act in the spirit of Satan and worship the same Satan as their „god“ in My name. New Sadducees and new school-wise men will arise against them, who will mock God, the soul, and eternal life, and who will preach that the living flesh bringeth forth the spirit, and that it itself again taketh the way of the flesh, as the Sadducees and Echaimen teach among themselves today. They too will through their

Today all the scribes, Pharisees, and elders have united with the school-wise men, Echaimen, and Sadducees, who had mutually feuded, hated, slandered, and fought, as one man to eliminate Me, the eternal truth, and – in their opinion – to destroy Me. Just as they seek to surpass each other in lies, malice, blood and revenge lust to excel in the work of destruction, so and with even more treachery will the coming scribes, Pharisees, elders, school-wise men, Echaimen, Sadducees, and with them also the misguided and malicious, unite. They will stand as one man against the spirit of eternal truth, which will reveal itself to men again in that future through you, who are Mine, and through man from spirit to spirit, to bear witness of Me!

But the spirit of the abyss of hellish darkness will also send out his own in droves in that future time, that they too – through the spirit of false prophets – may reveal themselves from spirit to spirit, to blind the light of eternal truth, that men, even more than before, may be misguided and not find their way out of the darkness of their soul and their spirit. The false seers, deceitful prophets, and inquirers of the dead of that coming time, together with their leaders, guides, and protectors, will fight each other as has been the case throughout all ages.

They will bring as many truths through communication from spirit to spirit as they have heads; each will defend his truths, and few will want to recognize that I alone, My being and My spirit, am the one eternal truth in goodness, love, mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice. For the least thing that contradicts these immutable and unchangeable qualities of My being and spirit is ignorance, and the more it contradicts them, the greater the lie, malice, hypocrisy, misguidance, and darkness of the spirit of Satan, however sanctimoniously and hypocritically he may give his revelation to men from spirit to spirit through his otherworldly and earthly ones.

And many souls of the departed will – as in all times before – seek to confirm their revelations through magical wondrous sights, and accomplish things which will amaze, but also enrage, the school-wise men, Echaimen, and Sadducees of that time, because these trifling things will convict them of their ignorance and malice; and they will muster all baseness and guile to uphold themselves and the spirit they serve.

But likewise and the same will the scribes and Pharisees of that future do, and beyond that, the real and false seers, prophets, and inquirers of the dead will „stone“ the spirit of Moses, Samuel, Elijah, and David, that they may maintain themselves in the spirit of the old Satan in his sad glory.

Many will come, for the sake of their own earthly advantages, but even more out of mere vanity, and will pass themselves off as seers, readers of the future from the stars, from the hand and the scripture, as dream interpreters, revealers, inquirers of the dead, and prophets, without being so; and as willing tools of the spirit of darkness, they will, more or less consciously, become deceivers of their fellow men and criminals against the eternal truth.

The Pharisee with the Echaimen and the Sadducee with the scribes of that future will rejoice and point to these men again and again, and cry out:

„So look the seers, inquirers of the dead, and prophets? Deceit and fraud, deceivers and criminals!“

And they will forget in their zeal how much they fight each other with the reproach of ignorance and consciously spread lies, and they will say as one man: We are the truth!

Sermon on the Evening Before the Ascension (May 27, 783 A.D.)

I have accomplished what I resolved to accomplish in eternity, and now I go from this world into My kingdom, whither ye shall follow Me, since ye are Mine.

As the servants of the spirit of hellish darkness have persecuted Me, because I am the eternal truth, the true light, and the true eternal life, and have proven it to them by word and works, so will they also hate, persecute, and seek to destroy you, My word written by you, and those who become Mine through you, and much will they succeed in, for testimony and knowledge to many.

The dark servants of the old Satan will also kill you, because they thereby render him a pleasing service, and a time will come when the soulful-spiritual darkness through them will become so great as has never been so widespread since mankind on earth until then. In this darkness only My name CHRIST will shine, but not My true being, My spirit, and My word; for long before, My word and I will be so disfigured by the servants of darkness that no man will have true knowledge of God and himself, but will all the more pretend as if he had both and knew everything.

My incarnation, My work in this world, My suffering, and My self-sacrifice for all men without distinction and without exception will be exploited by many for their own reputation, wealth, power, and well-being; for they will place over Me that „father“ who, through such promises, knows how to bind to himself those who are of his spirit and his striving against the eternal truth.

Their malice will become so great and so unbearable that men will revolt and set limits to their power; but the same malice will continue to stir and rage in darkness, secretly and openly. Many „saviors“ will be found, but all will seek to achieve by power and violence alone what can only be achieved by true self-knowledge, by one’s own good will, and by self-sacrifice for one another.

Wars and uprisings will follow one another, bring need, misery, suffering, and the most severe afflictions upon men, drive many to despair – and then, after a heavy bloodshed, such as has rarely been on earth, then your time will come again, that ye shall bear witness of Me anew through that prophet whom I will send to you and to men.

And when he comes, he will be a comfort to you, for through him ye will convict the world of sin, that it has not believed in Me in the truth which I alone am in the light of My spirit and life, and that it has made of Me what I am not, what I was not, and never will be, because I am immutable and unchangeable in My being, spirit, and life, even in this My human form.

I would have much more to tell you about the future, but ye cannot bear it now. But when he comes, whom I will then send to you, ye will have known all this long since, and your suffering for poor humanity, which ye have borne until then, will give way to the comfort that through your renewed work on earth – from spirit to spirit through the spirit – much will change and improve in time, through the knowledge of the eternal truth of many.

When the prophet comes, ye will teach all men all truth through him; for he will not speak of himself, but what he hears from you, that he will speak, and he will glorify Me in the truth which he will hear and proclaim from you, who are Mine.

Then His own asked Him:

Lord! Thou Thyself art here, men see Thy works happily, if they apply to them, and the others marvel. But how many are they who come to Thy holy word in faith, to receive it alive and actively follow it? Will man, when he comes and we through him, find faith on earth?

I have told you not only once: Blessed are ye that ye see Me, hear My word, and are witnesses of My works; for all this all the true prophets and righteous men who have been would have desired to see and hear; they have not seen and heard it in their time – but now they see and hear Me, see and hear you too, and their joy is infinite!

All men accept My works, and even many of the dark adversaries of eternal truth, but few accept My word, because it obliges everyone and all – without exception – to do only good to one another and to sacrifice themselves for one another. But I say unto you that many believe My word, have accepted it, and actively follow it now, without your knowing it.

Ye will find them all, and they will then bear witness with you to the eternal truth; they have come from afar, one after another, that they or their companions brought with them might be healed, and when it had happened, they willingly heard My word on the same or the next day, and it was also received by them and arose in them.

But since their earthly duties called them home again, they have gone and do not know all that they need to know to have the full knowledge of eternal truth; but ye will soon bring them to it, and it will not be difficult for you, since they have seen Me Myself, have heard My word in part, and are witnesses of My works done to them or their companions.

Because ye have been with Me for so long, because ye know Me, My word, and My works fully and completely, your knowledge, like your faith, is great and perfect in the knowledge of eternal truth, in the true knowledge of God and self, and blessed are ye!

Blessed are ye when men revile you and persecute you and speak all evil against you falsely for My sake! Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is the true eternal life in My kingdom!

But of those of the future, I say unto you: Truly blessed are all those who will not see Me essentially personally, will not hear Me, and yet will believe in Me with true knowledge, for the salvation of true eternal life!

Therefore, do not ask now whether that man whom I will send, when the time is fulfilled, and ye also through him, will find faith on earth; for if I have never sent any of the true prophets to the peoples of the earth in vain, neither will he whom I will send to you in the future come in vain. Do not ask either when it will happen; time is unstoppable, and because it, created for the spirit capable of knowledge, is enclosed in eternity, all times arise in it in such a way that only all that happens has its past, present, and future, but always represents and will represent the center of eternity in all future.

Therefore, one, two, or more earthly millennia are a long span of time, if one thinketh of the future; but if they have arisen as already past in eternity, all that hath happened in their course seemeth to have been yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before the day before yesterday.

Thus it will also be with the coming of him who is promised to you. Ye will be with Me in My kingdom, working from thence also in the worlds of the hereafter, waiting for the man promised to you, looking into the earthly, and the waiting for him will seem to you too long; but when he then cometh, it will be a today for you!

Therefore, be of good cheer and watch, that ye may be prepared in that time when it shall be said to you:

Go, see, and make yourselves ready, for the interpreter and mediator of your knowledge of the eternal truth in CHRIST, our God and Lord, hath arrived, that this world may anew experience your testimony in the truth in which ye recognized Me and in which ye proclaimed Me on earth, but which, by the treacherous servants of the evil spirit of hellish darkness, even during your work on earth in the human body, but even more after your entering into the kingdom of God, was robbed and disfigured and twisted beyond recognition.

And further spoke the Lord:

Whosoever will not recognize, know, and believe in Me in this My human form, in My word, and in My work, that God is the eternal truth in Me and I in Him by the power of My eternal being, spirit, and life, immutably and unchangeably one and the same God also in this My assumed human form, he hath no true knowledge of God; he will not attain to true knowledge of God and himself until he recognizes Me as ye have now recognized Me.

To you it hath been given to see Me, to hear My word from My own mouth, and to behold My works – yea, more, for it hath been given to you to see the eternal being of God in My transfigurations; and now ye know how the personal being of God is in Me, how it was in eternity – before My incarnation – and how it will remain in all the future of eternity.

Before this, I will leave this My earthly body transfigured by My power, as I have left My shed blood there as heavenly food and drink for every soul whose spirit of good will recognizes Me and strives to follow Me into My kingdom in My spirit, for the salvation of true eternal life.

I have known you in eternity, I have chosen you once before, and thus ye are with Me now in this world, chosen and called by Me to proclaim Me and the word of My gospel to the peoples and nations of the earth, that the world may recognize Me through Me and through you in the truth which I alone am eternally. They shall thereby, by the power of true knowledge of God and self, be rescued from the ignorance, errors, and soulful and spiritual darkness of lies and malice, and walk in the light of true knowledge for their own temporal and eternal salvation. For many will believe in Me through you!

Therefore, I have often said to you at the beginning: Blessed are ye who hear My word from My own mouth, see Me and My works, that ye may know and believe! But truly blessed are all those who will not be able to see and hear Me as ye do now, and yet will believe in Me for true eternal life!

Today I need not say it to you anymore, since ye know and since ye are truly Mine, whom I have chosen and called. But this I say to you: Many will arise whom I have neither chosen nor called, whom ye have not called either, but who will call themselves and have others call them, declaring themselves and others to be called; in all this, they will serve not Me, but against Me, against you, and against their fellow men, My, your, and their old adversary, the old Satan, to their own and many of their fellow men’s temporal, but for many also to their eternal destruction.

They will read My word and preach it well to their fellow men:

„Gather no earthly treasures; ye shall have no money and gold in your bags and girdles! Ye shall not traverse lands and seas to make Jewish proselytes! Ye shall not, under the pretense of long prayers, devour the houses of widows and the goods of your fellow men! Ye shall not shut up My kingdom to men! Ye shall not be called fathers, nor masters, teachers, and lords! Ye shall not do as the kings, princes, mighty, and great of this world do, and rule the peoples with might and violence, but whosoever will be first among you, let him be the servant of all, and whosoever will be greatest among you, let him be the minister of all in truth, since I also have not come to rule, to judge, and to make all serve Me, but that I may serve all and give My life for their temporal and eternal salvation.“

All this and much more they will read and teach to others and preach to them, but do the very opposite of all this themselves, in the sense, spirit, and striving of My, your, their, and men’s old adversary, the old Satan, whose lusts they will pursue just as the Jews did, to whom I repeatedly said it, and who persecuted and crucified Me as the worst „blasphemer of God“ for this truth.

They will openly and unreservedly admit not only that this My old adversary is their „father and god,“ but will also forcibly and violently compel all others to believe in this their father as the true god, and mercilessly condemn all who recognize and believe only in and in Me the eternal truth, the true light, and the true eternal life, the beginning and the way into My kingdom.

Nevertheless, all those people who know My name, have heard of My word and of My works done there, and will want to turn to God in all kinds of concerns, will turn to no one but Me. For they will be able to imagine Me alone essentially personally in their soul and by the power of the good will of their spirit capable of knowledge, vividly and purely as I am there. Whosoever thus imagines Me spiritually in his soul, verily I say unto you, he doth not imagine Me thus in vain, for I am then present with him not only by the power of My omnipresent spirit, but also essentially personally, as now here among you.

As no one in the true world of My kingdom and in My incarnation there on earth has ever seen Me angry, and will not see Me angry in all eternity, no man who hears My true word and of My works can ever imagine Me as angry, but only in the truth which I am, in a living image full of goodness, love, mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice.

Whosoever in My name and in My spirit turneth to Me and thus imagineth Me in these My qualities in his soul figuratively, he hath the only true conception of God in his soul and spirit, which deceiveth not and misguideth not, because it is the living image of the eternal truth, the true light, and the true eternal life, and I Myself am present.

Among the great wise men of this world are not a few „seekers of God,“ but they all remain seekers of God even when they believe they have found the God whom they imagine to be present in everything and animating everything, and teach and explain Him to others as an all-encompassing „world soul,“ which includeth everything and subsisteth in itself.

But because the most ingenious or subtle of their „explanations“ and teachings about the „world soul“ do not give them, and therefore not anyone else, an essentially personal conception of God, nay, completely abolish and make impossible such a conception, they themselves are deeply dissatisfied with such a conception of God; and they continue to seek God, because sound reason telleth them, and they feel in and by their own being, that just as they themselves are individually essentially personal, so also God must be essentially personal in the highest perfect degree – and He is!

But they, who by the power of their spirit surpass many of their fellow men, and thereby consider themselves to be more perfect than others, seek and imagine the highest perfection not in the spirit, but much more in the being of God, and therefore seek to imagine this omnipresent being like His spirit – thereby arriving at an infinite greatness of God, a delusion conceived by them, which maketh any pictorially comprehensible conception of the being of God impossible, and for this reason alone abolishes the personal essence of God.

False assumptions beget false conclusions, and the end result is false, because it is the fruit of false conclusions and false assumptions, which in turn flow partly from that ignorance and partly from those errors which are held to be knowledge and facts; but by these no man can attain to true knowledge of God and self, because their foundation is ignorance and error, and sometimes even malice and lies against goodness and truth.

Thus the wise men of this world know their own greatness in their spirit, but imagine the greatness of God in His being; or they measure the greatness of His personal being by the greatness of His omnipresent spirit – and thereby abolish the personal nature of the form of His being in the knowledge that they cannot ascribe infinity and omnipresence to this being.

But because they recognize the omnipresence of the spirit of God from the outset, they imagine God to be impersonal, merely a spirit. And recognizing in and by themselves that there is no spirit that is not the property of a personally formed being, acting in and from itself, they cannot deny God the personally formed being either. They arrive at the delusion that the spirit of God manifests itself in all other personally formed beings and in all things, which individually and collectively represent the personal being of God „in a mysterious way,“ or replace the personal form of His being, whereby He is essentially personally unimaginable and therefore also inscrutable and unfathomable.

The fact of life, consciousness, soulful and spiritual activity, will, and striving, which is inexplicable to them, leads many of the great wise men of this world to the false assumption that the totality of what exists also offers God His essential existence in the formed beings and things in a figurative sense.

Through observation, experience, search, findings, and all kinds of knowledge gained therefrom, being more spiritually developed than others of their fellow men, many of these wise men know that the soulless, spiritless, and lifeless things of this world can never beget and produce anything soulful, spiritual, and living, and are there to serve the development, activity, and work of the soulful-spiritual-living. All that is soulful-spiritual and living must therefore have its origin and being elsewhere; it must have come to earth as such „in a mysterious and unfathomable way,“ to give – according to their completely false assumption – the formed „all-spirit“ or „world soul,“ as they imagine and call God, an essentiality in an almost infinite formedness!

Such a delusion has the consequence that those who cherish and succumb to it are simply forced to impute and attribute to God everything, absolutely everything, the highest, most sublime, purest, and holiest, as well as the lowest, most reprehensible, most abominable, and most diabolical. They therefore ascribe to Him everything that may ever happen, as if He were the author of truth and lies, goodness and malice, love and hatred, mercy and hard-heartedness, forgiveness and revenge, self-sacrifice and selfishness, bliss and despair, gentleness and bloodthirst, life and damnation, preservation and destruction!

To show every soul of a spirit capable of knowledge, which has no true knowledge of God and self, that God, by the power of the eternal trinity of His being, spirit, and life, is a personally eternal being, I Myself have come into this world essentially personally. I Myself have assumed this My human form here through the mother and virgin sanctified by Me, in which I have shown, confirmed, and proven to the human souls of this world and the souls of the hereafter, through My incarnation, through My word and through all My works, through My death on the cross and through My resurrection, that God is essentially personal in Me as this My human form is in Him through Me.

I have confirmed that I, even in this My assumed body, am the same eternal truth, the same true light, and the same true eternal life: immutably and unchangeably the same eternal trinity of My being, spirit, and life, the only true eternal God, in and by Whom there is nothing and from Whom nothing can come that would contradict My eternal truth, goodness, love, mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice in the slightest.

I have chosen and called you because I know you from eternity and know that ye will bear witness to the truth, not for your own sake, but for the sake of all those who, through you, will know of Me, willingly believe in Me, and seek to actively follow My word, for their temporal and eternal salvation. I have called countless hundreds of thousands in all the years of My earthly work, and they all could have been chosen and called by Me; but see and ask: Where are they all?

Thus only ye are chosen and called to bear witness to the truth. Ye all number only a few hundred; but to bear witness to the eternal truth before men, it is fully sufficient for now, since My spirit, the spirit of truth, is alive in you, and I will send it to you visibly in the light, that ye may receive of My power, and, clothed with the power of the light of My spirit, overcome the darkness and malice of hell and this world for eternal testimony and true knowledge to all who are of good will, as I have overcome them.

Ye know the „gods“ of the peoples, ye also know of the „god“ of the wise men of this world, ye know the „god“ and the „scripture“ of this perverse people, whose elders, according to the law of the „scripture,“ have brought Me to the cross as their god’s „worst blasphemer.“ As they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you and seek to kill you, to please their god according to his law; for whosoever among them condemneth you and killeth you or otherwise causeth you to die by others, he doeth thereby a service to the Hebrew god according to the law of the scripture.

If ye now continue to proclaim Me, My being, My spirit, My name, My word, and My works in the truth, in the light, and in the life, as I have proclaimed and revealed Myself to you, they will rage against you just as they have raged against Me – and their hatred against Me, which consumeth them more than ever since they know of My resurrection, will strike you.

Since I no longer teach and work publicly in this My bloodless body, as it was before, and because they fear the retribution of the governor whom they have so severely humiliated, they are silent and wait, hoping that with My departure from this world everything will soon be as it was before I came to tell them, above all others, the truth, and to show them, above all others, who and how the true eternal God is in His word and in His works!

They have seen My works, yea, many of them have experienced them themselves; they have heard My word, the word of eternal truth, light, and true eternal life. But it is precisely because of My word that they have condemned Me as a „blasphemer of God“ according to the statutes of their scripture, have sworn an oath, have paid thirty shekels of blood money for the betrayal of My resting place, according to the same statutes, as for a Jewish woman, for a stranger, for a Jewish servant, or for a „foreigner“ in general, since I am a foreigner to them, like most of you. They have captured Me, condemned Me to death according to the same statutes, tortured and crucified Me. If they have done all this to Me, they will seek to do the same to you all.

I Myself have repeatedly told them who their „god and father“ is – and great was their outcry, their abuse, their curses, curses, and oaths of revenge against Me. I have repeatedly told them that they do not know God, since, if they knew God, they would have to recognize Him in Me, in My word, and in My works; but their outcry, abuse, curses, curses, and oaths of revenge were possibly even worse.

If ye now go and proclaim Me, My being, My spirit, My name, My word, and My works to the peoples, this evil and perverse people of hell, which is already harbored by all the peoples of the Roman Empire, but also far beyond, will hate and persecute you, because it cannot bear the light of eternal truth and because the word of eternal truth is a tribulation to it.

By virtue of the covenants entered into and sealed by shameless, bloody circumcision, which, as the foremost commandment, under threat of death, forbids the knowledge of good and evil, bars the way to true eternal life, chooses this people alone from all the peoples of the earth as its people, to bind it to itself and to hell by promises of earthly well-being, reputation, wealth, and power at the expense of all other peoples, it must serve only it and hell, that hell may also be on earth and that the prince of hell, the Hebrew god, may become the god of this world through his people.

To the same people, and above all to its elders, leaders, great, and influential men, I have repeatedly said and shown by word and works, confirmed and proven before their eyes and ears, that from, through, and out of God nothing, absolutely nothing, can come that could contradict His eternal truth, His true light, His true life, His immutable and unchangeable goodness, love, mercy, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice, even in the remotest way.

I have repeatedly said to them and proven and confirmed to them by word and works that the eternal truth can never tempt anyone to evil, incite anyone to evil, urge anyone to evil by threats and curses, test, punish, avenge, condemn, and destroy, that God, the eternal truth, cannot harden anyone’s heart and soul to show the power of His revenge, punishment, and evil retribution. Furthermore, I have confirmed that the eternal truth and goodness do not make the lame, deaf, blind, mute, and burdened, do not strike, do not kill, and that the true light creates no darkness of the spirit and soul.

I have shown them all those passages of their scripture in which the devil boasts of all this and much worse, the same devil whom they praise as their „god and father,“ to whom they, according to the confession of Moses before Pharaoh Rah-amen-cheper-Thot-mesu, offer abominations and serve, because for the sake of his promises they find pleasure in his lusts.

But I have not come to judge, but to make the world blessed; but the world will only be blessed in the true knowledge of God and self, in the knowledge of the eternal truth, the true light, the true eternal life, and by the active observance of My word:

What ye would that others should do to you, do ye to them first!

I know the peoples and nations of the earth and know best of all what differences their eternal soulful-spiritual and their earthly-bodily being show, and how some among them distinguish themselves from others, how they, especially in a purely soulful and spiritual sense, stand above others.

I know peoples and nations that were, that are present, and all that will come. But I have never said and will never say to any people or any nation: Thou art My people, whom I have chosen from the peoples of the earth as My possession, and with whom I have made an eternal covenant against all the peoples of the earth, that thou mayest plunder and destroy them, and make those whom thou canst not exterminate subject and tributary to thee, and thus it may be well with thee on earth!

Never have I said and never will I say:

Thou alone art My people, all others are strangers to Me and to thee; thy brother and thy neighbor is only he who, like thee, bears the sign of thy eternal covenant with Me – circumcision – and who keeps My statutes; all others are strangers, My and thy enemies, and thou shalt hate thy enemy, exterminate him, not spare him, and have no mercy on him!

My word is different, quite different! For I say: Ye are all Mine, who recognize Me, hear My word, and willingly follow it for your own temporal and eternal salvation! I am the eternal truth, the true light, and the true eternal life, the father of all life! Ye are all My children, because ye bear My life in you and live by the power of My life, which ye received at the beginning created by Me for you all, and by which ye, who were a mere twofold, lifeless, soulful, and spiritual core in eternity before the beginning created by Me for you, have become threefold, each in his own being as soul-spirit-life!

Thus ye, and with you all the almost infinite variety of groups and species of soulful-spiritual seed, which existed with and beside Me from eternity, have become threefold through the gift of life from Me and from Me, as I Myself am by the power of the eternal trinity of My being, spirit, and life. Ye have been threefold only since the beginning created by Me for you, I Myself eternally. But since the being of your soul, of your spirit, and the life received from Me is also of an eternal being through Me, ye yourselves are also of an eternal being and, as a trinity of soul, spirit, and life, indestructible and imperishable for all the future of eternity.

A perverse soulful-spiritual attitude, turning away from the eternal truth, inclination to all kinds of lies, as well as errors and other circumstances, can indeed rob you of the consciousness of your being, existence, and life, as well as of certain memories, for a time and even for periods; but the trinity of soul-spirit-life, which ye are, is indestructible and imperishable.

No one – not even I – can separate the essence of the soul from the spirit eternally inherent in it and the life from the two factors, take away the spirit from the soul and the life from the spirit, divide, destroy, and annihilate the soul, the spirit, and the life. The soul can never lose the spirit, or vice versa, the spirit the soul, and both the life, in any way, because all three are an inseparable unity and will remain so in all the future.

Thus all human souls on earth, in the worlds of the hereafter, and the pure remaining ones of My kingdom are My children – from Me; but whether anyone truly wills to be and remain My child depends not on Me, but on each one himself, since I leave to every spirit capable of knowledge his free will, in all the future.

By the power of their own free will, all souls who once pass through the realm of the earth of this world, after aeons of times of blessed and peaceful life, have left the true world of My kingdom created for them, to follow him who has given free rein to his free will and has become My, their, and the worst adversary of all that is Mine and My creation.

Not by free will do those hosts, who once turned away from Me, who followed evil from My kingdom, died through their own fault in the worldless void of infinity, and became an inconspicuous soulful-spiritual-living seed, come to earth to pass through there once in an earthly body. But this measure, which once bypasses the free will of the poisoned spirit capable of knowledge, is indispensable and unavoidable. For otherwise all those hosts who turned away from Me, left My kingdom, followed evil, died in the worldless void after previously losing their heavenly body, and became in the course of time the inconspicuous, fallow nothingness of an unconscious soulful-spiritual-living seed, would remain lying fallow in nothingness. That would be unjust.

But the arrival on this earth and an earthly becoming in an earthly body bring the soulful essence of the seed, which bears within it the basic and stem values of its own form and shapes, to awakening, development, and thus also the awakening of the spirit; it enables the consciousness of one’s own life and existence, and with all this the further development of the whole soulful-spiritual being, insofar as this is not violently interrupted by a third party or, by virtue of its own nature, does not reach earthly full development. Thus, if earthly, one-time existence is not according to the free will of man, it is nevertheless the consequence of his former turning away from Me, conceived by his free will, and of the leaving of the true world of My kingdom, conceived by the same free will.

My creation of the All of this world and My measure to let the hosts, who turned away from Me and followed the boastful and dark liar and murderer from the true world of My kingdom, pass through the realm of the earth of this world once each, little by little, is not a retribution, not a trial, not a punishment for their former behavior against Me; it is rather a holy measure, by which the vast majority of those will also be saved in whom every spark of good will had then gone out and who were very close to falling prey to the dark liar and being lost in the hellish mire of the adversary.

This one has long deceived this world through „prophets“ who are not such, but only dark mediators of mere inspirations, by means of which he misleads men for the benefit of his diabolical lusts and pretends through them that he is God, who has the weal and woe, life and death of all in his hand.

Indeed, long, long before My arrival in this world, I sent true prophets of My spirit to the peoples and nations of the earth, had them taught by Mine and proclaimed to them that I Myself would come to earth in human form essentially personally at the appointed time; and now I am here, whereas the dark murderer and liar has had to let it remain with the visions and reproductions of the inspiration of his dark magicians, sorcerers, dream interpreters, and sign interpreters. From these, even the most recognized, respected, and greatest of the Hebrew Jews seasoned the reproduction of their inspirations, visions, dreams, and interpretations with loud-mouthed chatter, charlatanry, and buffoonery.

As for their arrived „predictions,“ these are partly given in such a way that everyone can interpret them as they please, and partly written as „predictions“ only after what was predicted had long since happened; and so much has been retroactively attributed to some of the recognized „prophets“ of the Jews, of which the latter knew nothing and which he therefore did not write. Yea, the Jews have invented prophets like Daniel, who was never there! Likewise, they also invented many events, such as that of Esther and Mordecai, which are invented and lied about or overheard from others and reproduced in a Jewishly distorted way, like the Jewish creation revelation, the flood with Noah’s ark, the tower of Babel, and much more, not to mention the „Egyptian wonders,“ the march of the Hebrew Jews through the sea, and other such wonders.

I have come and proclaim the eternal truth, the true light, and the true eternal life of My being, spirit, name, and word personally Myself, and say to you again: the realm of the earth with the All of this world is a mirror image of the true world of the heavenly kingdom; but this is perfect in its being as in its powers, and therefore keeps every tribulation, even of the slightest kind, completely away from all that is soulful-spiritual-living.

But the realm of the earth is also there for the purpose of mediating to the hosts, who turned away from Me and left My kingdom, all good as well as all evil through their earthly body, which they build up here, so that they may thereby have to recognize both the good and the evil all the more soulfully and spiritually, so that no one may have an excuse against the other for not knowing what is good and what is evil. Therefore, although the earth is the mirror image of one of the worlds of My kingdom, it must also be a small shadow image of hell and contain smaller kinds of tribulation. Otherwise, the knowledge of good and evil would be impossible from the outset, and the existence of men would be pointless.

Thus, the essence of the earth itself already contains certain kinds of all kinds of tribulation through its effect on the earthly body, which is indispensable for the purpose of the knowledge of good and evil – and by no means makes the earth a hell, because it is nevertheless the mirror image of the worlds of My kingdom, insofar as the good, the beautiful, the pure, and the sublime on it are observed, and there is much, very much of that!

What prepares hell for the existence and life of so many there on earth and occasionally and repeatedly makes a hell with all its darkness and torment out of the mirror image of heaven which the earth represents, is not the essence of the earth itself, but the evil spirit of hellish darkness, who satisfies his dark and evil lusts through the dark and evil lusts of his earthly servants and slaves.

Consider the good that this earth offers to all that is soulful-spiritual-living, measure against it the tribulations that come from it, and ye will find that these are not too heavy in view of the good, and all the less so as one can also protect oneself in all kinds of ways against the tribulations that the essence and powers of the earth prepare for men.

Many men are indeed themselves partly to blame for many of their bodily ills through the devising of new pleasures, intemperance, and many other circumstances; but whence, from whom, and through whom all the otherwise undeserved ills, diseases, and infirmities come, the Hebrew god, the „prophets,“ and the scripture of this perverse people of the devil, as it is written, clearly say – even boasting thereat:

Who maketh men dumb, deaf, lame, and blind? Do not I? Am not I, the Lord? The Lord will smite them with withering, feverish heat, burning, poisonous air, with swellings, evil glands, with sores also on bodily parts from which filth emanates; with jaundice, scabies, and mange, with madness, blindness, and frenzy, he will make thee leprous from the crown of thy head to the sole of thy foot, that thou canst not be healed!

In Isaiah he says: I can form the light and create darkness, I can give peace and create all evil.

In Samuel he says: I kill and can make alive, I lead into hell and can lead out. Likewise and infinitely worse is the scripture overflowing.

Thus I have come and have said, shown, confirmed, and proven to the perverse, criminal people by word and works that the eternal truth, the true light, and the true eternal life – the true eternal God – is the infinite opposite of such a spirit, striving, and will. For as the true light I create no darkness, as the true eternal life I do not kill, but give life, as the eternal truth I do not smite, but heal!

I do not harden any man’s heart and soul, but seek to open them to Me, I do not tempt any man, but invite and call all to Me, that they may recognize Me in the truth which I alone am eternally, and that they may actively follow My word in true knowledge, for their temporal and eternal salvation. As forgiveness, I do not punish; I do not judge, but make blessed all who are of good will to come to Me; as true justice, mercy, forgiveness, and self-sacrifice, nothing is so infinitely distant and nothing is so infinitely foreign to Me as evil retribution and revenge.

The „scripture“ of this perverse people speaks of many, many wonders which the Hebrew god claims to have done and brought about. But look closely at all these „wonders“: plague, plague, and again plague. Strangling of all firstborn, blood and plague, plague and darkness, darkness and again darkness, lightning, thunder, smoke, fire, locusts, gnats, frogs, hail – blood and plague, drowning of all the armies of Egypt with Pharaoh: wonders upon wonders! But the alleged eyewitnesses of all the wonders did not believe in the wonders according to the reports of Moses himself, and because they did not believe in the wonders that had happened and were heard, they had to die in their thousands, which is also considered a wonder.

I have come and have done works which were rightly valued as God’s works by all eyewitnesses and listeners and wrongly regarded as wonders; but has even a single one of My numerous works done there imposed even the shadow of a plague or tribulation on anyone? Nay! On the contrary, it has taken away the plague from everyone, and I have not looked whether the afflicted belonged more to the righteous or more to the unrighteous.

I have not come to judge, but to make all blessed – all, however, to the eternal testimony and to the true knowledge that no plague comes from God, the eternal truth, no plague can come, that He does not judge, does not repay evil with evil, does not test, cannot test, because He is all-knowing, leads no one into temptation and cannot lead, because He is the true justice in His mercy and forgiveness, by which He therefore never punishes and avenges.

I have come and have confirmed and proven to the world through My incarnation, through My word, through My works, through My death, and through My resurrection that God is essentially personally in My being, spirit, and life also in this My temporally assumed human form, which I had to assume for the sake of My self-sacrifice and also to show the world in it by word and works how God is in the unchangeably equal properties of His eternal being, spirit, and life.

I have accomplished the task set by Myself in eternity on earth, and now I send you among the peoples of the earth to proclaim to them Me, My being, My spirit, My name, and My word. Whosoever receiveth you receiveth Me, and whosoever receiveth Me receiveth God the eternal truth and the true light, which will lead him through his temporal salvation to the salvation of true eternal life in My kingdom.

Heavy, very heavy will your task be, but ye will accomplish it, because ye have taken upon yourselves and accomplished a task incomparably heavier than when ye once went with the hosts going out of My kingdom to move them to self-reflection and repentance. Not a few owe their salvation to your and your like’s intervention and work at that time through timely reflection and return to My kingdom. But ye – regardless of yourselves – remained with the hosts who had turned away from Me, comforted them in the last span of time when every return had become impossible and they were in despair, not for yourselves, but until the last moment concerned only about them – to die then even much more heavily than themselves.

Heavy, very heavy will your task be; for other peoples and nations of the earth, similar or equal to this perverse people, also soulfully poisoned in all kinds of ways, will shake their heads at hearing of God the eternal truth, of the father of all life, that He has come to earth as the poorest of the poor. They will hear that He fled from the malice of men even in the tent of the pure body of His earthly mother chosen by Him in eternity, sanctified by Him and through Him, and was born in a rock stable on a bundle of straw. They will hear that He later worked as a carpenter, day laborer, and porter, and throughout His entire earthly existence did not call so much His own where He could lay His head, furthermore, that He, whose is omnipotence, allowed Himself to be persecuted, captured, condemned to death, tormented, beaten, martyred, and crucified by the most perverse, evil, and adverse of the peoples!

They will prick up their ears when they hear of My resurrection, My ascension, and the sending of My spirit, visible to you in the light of My power, for that will appear great and divine to them. But poverty, suffering, and self-sacrifice will not become understandable to them so soon, because they do not know the true glory of God and are caught in the error that the glory of God consists in thousands upon thousands of wealth, in pomp, power, omnipotence, and in the majesty of all emperors and kings, princes, high priests, great, and mighty of this world.

They will also shake their heads when they hear from you that God the eternal truth tests no one, leads no one into temptation, punishes no one – and above all else exercises no retribution and no revenge, which is infinitely distant and foreign to Him and which He knows only in the dark, lying, and evil adversary, in Satan, the Hebrew god, and his servants.

Precisely that many will not be able to grasp and understand, for there is always someone who does injustice and evil to another, even complaining about what injustice and evil others do to him. One does injustice and evil to another, and all wait for whether and how God will punish them and take revenge on them for their unjust and evil deeds.

The God who forgives all and everything will appear unjust precisely to the worst of evildoers, since hypocrites call all the evil they do to others good and just until the same even threatens to strike them; if it strikes them, it is no longer good and just, but evil and diabolical – and they already cry out and clamor for God’s punishment and revenge for others.

But ye know that everyone who does evil and injustice to others judges himself; for his works follow him into the hereafter, where he occupies that world which corresponds to his works and from which he cannot flee until – having become of another mind and striving – he repents and rises up in works which lighten and take away the burden of his unjust and evil works, or until, persisting in injustice and evil works, he sinks even deeper!

But no people of the earth waits and calls for revenge and punishment of its god on all other nations and peoples as much as this perverse people of the devil, which, by virtue of the promises of its revenge god, deems itself chosen and infinitely exalted above all others, since its revenge god urges it to take revenge on all others under curses and threats and says to it:

All places that your foot treads are yours, and no one will be able to resist you; fear and terror of you will your God spread over all the land that ye tread. Your God will give you great and rich cities that ye have not built, houses full of all good that ye have not filled, wells of sweet water that ye have not dug, olive gardens and vineyards that ye have not planted.

Your Yahweh will take away all diseases from you and lay all the great plagues on the peoples, your enemies, and ye will devour all the peoples that the Lord your Yahweh will give you – and ye shall not spare them. Let them not drive you into fear, for your Lord your Yahweh is in your midst, a great and terrible God, Yahweh, who will exterminate the peoples before you, one after another, for ye will not be able to destroy them all at once, lest the wild animals of the land multiply against you; but the Lord will give them up and smite them until they are destroyed. He will give their kings into your hand, and ye will destroy their names under heaven, and no one will be able to resist you until ye destroy them.

Your mouth shall praise the Lord, and in your hands ye shall carry two-edged swords to take vengeance on the peoples and nations, to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron fetters, to do to them according to the written law!

Kings will care for you, queens will be your wet nurses; they will fall down before you to the earth on their faces and will lick the dust of your feet! Ye shall suck the milk of the peoples, and the breast of kings shall suckle you, that ye may know that I am the Lord, your savior and redeemer, whose strength and might is in Israel!

Thus this perverse people, to whom such promises were given, does everything to fulfill them; for every crime it commits against the other peoples is the observance of the statutes given to it, and therefore a divine service. It is now already at home among many peoples and often at the top – and wherever parts of a people resist being absorbed and devoured, this perverse people of the devil cries out and complains that it is being oppressed, hated, and persecuted without cause!
