DO NOT RESTRICT FREEDOM TO TRAVEL ESPECIALLY OF THOSE WHO ARE COMMISSIONED TO SPREAD GOD’S WORDS AND WAY
The Righteousness of Christ is not that
of the World and its Pharisees (systems consultants) –
SUBJECT: DO NOT RESTRICT FREEDOM TO TRAVEL ESPECIALLY OF THOSE WHO ARE COMMISSIONED TO SPREAD
GOD’S WORDS AND WAY
Introduction:
This
paragraph is the last I am writing here, sort of addendum instead of
introduction… but I feel this serves best as an introduction. Thus: A few days
after I saved the text below, I was led to review the following movies: “Brave
Heart” (not the cartoon one) which chronicles the rebellion of William Wallace and his eventual execution which led to full
revolution for a free Scotland; “The Japanese Samurai” which was also a
struggle of the common folks versus their ruling landlords; the “Last of the Mohicans”
which feature the losing battle of the Indians versus the white men from Europe
with their superior guns; and this also goes on to other movies about man’s
struggle to free himself from his fellowman’s shackles… this is showing me one
thing very clear: how painful and devastating it is to see brothers fighting
against brothers or fellowman vis his fellowman, usually in groups, in their
quarrel or contest over land or territories, rich natural resources… and how it
is clear to see that God indeed is hands off and has left them on their own
devices… when you see soldiers lying dead… too young to die… don’t deserve to
die… they still have more years to have lived for happily.. they still have
young wives and little children to care for… whose heart is too hard not to
melt in tears especially if you are in the midst of the battlefield searching
for your son or your husband.. or maybe at a distance seeing the mother or the
young wife looking for her husband or son among the pile of dead bodies and
smoking debris? Read the text below where our Lord, some 2,000 years ago,
vehemently oppose the move of evil leaders to prohibit travel… the Lord clearly
stated His reasons travel should be totally free, namely: 1) freedom to travel
means free exchange of experiences, observations, ideas, knowledge to improve
everybody’s and every nation’s conditions, and to stop any bad practice or
expose any deception by one group of rulers against their own people; and 2)
the Lord has His apostles and disciples whom He commissioned to go to all
nations to preach the Kingdom of God, so people will acknowledge the
sovereignty of God as the only Lord and Ruler, and recognize the brotherhood of
man, thus, prevent any man, individual or group or race, to lord over, rule
over, or oppress their other fellowmen!.... This discourse of His was spoken 2,000
years ago… and look how prophetic He proved to be… and how true His worry prove
to be… by knowing what happened to all continents from the time He left the
earth up to this current time, some 2,000 years in all, by viewing the movies
or reading the histories about one class’s struggle against the upper class, or
one’s race battling other race.. you can really see how painful and devastating
it is when all parties do not know God and do not recognize His authority as
Lord over all… they are left on their own devices indeed… using whatever power they
can find or muster… nobody absolutely respect what one possesses but proceeds
to seized or covert it when he has the superior force to do it… even wife is
not spared… anyone may take somebody’s wife if he has the superior power/force
to do so… leaving the husband pained and seething in desire for revenge… Had we
listened to the Lord’s plain loving advice to not restrict travel and exchange
of experiences, ideas and knowledge, then, above all, His true missionaries
would have reached all places and every place and every nation would have been
taught of the existence and reality of God, of the superiority of His love,
wisdom and power… and this would have convinced the descendants to return to
the God of the ancients and ancestors… and with God reigning as our ruler and
father, there would have been no war that slaughtered whole communities or
races… not sparing the innocent ones… Keep viewing the type of movies I had
mentioned while you keep this perspective about what happens if both parties do
not know God, do not recognize the true God.. and both are left alone to depend
on what they have!... the result would be slaughter and endless cycle of
revenge which in the Philippines, it is termed “redo” or the process of endless
counter revenge between warring tribes or families, each aiming to kill all members
of the enemy clan or tribe and leave no heir or descendant, but since in many
cases, there was someone left or able to escape, the survivor would begin a new
clan in silence until he gains enough power to attack the unwary enemy clan,
and so this cycle of revenge does not stop, if each time there is someone left
to survive and revive the clan for revenge.
So
we have the clan versus clan or tribe versus another tribe where the power is
almost equal and on the other hand, we have the king versus the rebels where
the king possesses the superior military but his abuses has reached the brim,
the victory is often given to the rebels who have the inferior machinery.
Nevertheless,
you can see in these scenarios which have been repeated thousands of times in
every continent these past 2,000 years… and probably also before Christ… we see
how they had fared without God’s protection and without knowing God’s loving way,
how devastating would be the slaughter if they are left to their own devices,
ignorant of God’s Way, and devoid of God’s blessings as their Father and
Creator… everyone or every party races to become the oppressor or ruler… and
hastens to suppress his fellowman… so that the kind of relationship that existed
and does still exist is that of master and slave, instead of brotherhood and
equality… this is the sorry result of preventing travel in general and in
preventing the Lord’s true missionaries from visiting all nations to preach and
teach the gospel of the Kingdom of God…
If
we would make every war into a movie and collect all these movies, then we will
see one common theme: it is brother against brother and master over slave
because they had not heard the gospel of the Fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of men!
That
makes the following lost teaching of the Lord of greatest value… and my regret
for seeing it not being disseminated and taught to all people… my regret
reaching heaven!!!
Therefore,
listen you all!

Text: The Great Gospel according to Jesus Christ thru John, vol. 20
Chapter
45
[6] The disciples were satisfied with this and we went
directly outside, up on a hill from which the whole of Essaea and the large
walls and strongholds of the Essenes could be viewed. From the hill, we also
could see the roads that led to Essaea from many sides, and on most of them we
could see many people going to that place for help. And so, there was soon much
people coming in this place, but our inn was kept free for us.
[7] We were watching for a while how the people came
closer, and the disciples had the impression that the people moved on only very
slowly.
[8] And the disciple Simon and James the elder said:
“Lord, at this speed these people will need from there to Jerusalem 7 to 8 full
days of walking while we here needed only 2 days, inclusive the halt on the
way. How was it actually possible to come here so fast while other people who
moreover let themselves be carried by various pack animals need remarkably more
time for it? Were we maybe carried now and then by invisible powers?”
[9] I said: “This could very well have been the case
with us on the lonely, long sections of the road, as it was also the case when
we traveled through the extended region at the Euphrates and the upper part of
Syria, for with the usual manner of walking we should have needed much more
time. When later you will travel in My name, you also will be able to move with
a greater speed over deserted, extended regions on Earth, where there are no
villages and where no people are living.”
[10] On this, Andreas asked: “Lord, if I could add the
people that are already staying here since a few days because they seek help,
to those new people who are crowding together, then there could be several
thousands of them. If You will help everyone according to Your love and mercy
who seek help with You we will be very busy here for many days, for according
to my experience this is the number of people who are crowding almost each day
to this place to seek help. Regarding this, it will be difficult to help the
Essenes, for they have received a worldwide reputation that will now be
difficult to eradicate in one time.”
[11] I said: “You still think and speak as a common
person. Did you not hear what I have promised yesterday to the chief of the
Essenes? When I sent you out before Me into the world I have given you also the
power to heal the sick, to cast out evil spirits and to announce the gospel to
the poor, and you were able to actively convince yourselves several times of
the truth of that power that you have received from Me, because you were able
to heal all diseases by the laying on of your hands, except that moonstruck
young man because of lack of the right faith.
[12] Now if I was able to give you such power, will I
then also not be able to give it also to the Essenes, since they intended in
all seriousness to build a heavenly stronghold on Earth for Me, free from all
worldly interests? And if they will receive such power from Me - and actually
they have already received it - they also will not have to eradicate their
worldwide reputation, but should only place it in another and truthful light.
Therefore, we will not have to stay long here to help all those many people
- so to speak every one individually - who seek help.
They will also be helped by Me because the Essenes will always be able to help
them in My name. Look, your worries were useless.”
[13] Let now at this opportunity a lot of them come to
this place, so that they will be informed about the new and true institution of
this place. Through them it will then soon and easily be known far and wide in
the true light, and it will not be necessary at all to send out messengers from
here into all directions to free those with wrong understandings from their old
superstition. If things are so and not otherwise, we do not have to worry at all
about the many people who are traveling to this place.”
[14] On this, Peter said: “Lord, what You have told me
now is clear, and we are all highly convinced that this will be so in full
truth. But how will it happen with the awakening of the many dead children and
other people? For if these will not be awakened, the Essenes will still remain
in their old need. But if they will be awakened - of what You are of course
capable of - then soon still more people will come here with their dead, and
will force these Essenes, who are converted now, to wake up their dead. How can
this be prevented?”
[15] I said: “Also this will be taken care of and
neither one of you should be worried or care about it. But it is good that this
place is so separated from other places. That is why many things can be done
here for which other places in this time would not be suitable. And that is why
this also - but for the last time - can be done to the dead. How and in which
manner, this I surely know and so you should not be concerned about it.”
[16] With this, My old disciples were satisfied. Only
Judas Iscariot still wanted to make a remark.
[17] But our Thomas interrupted him immediately and
said: “The Lord has spoken and after that we only should speak when He asks us,
otherwise we should only keep silent and listen.”
[18] Judas Iscariot said: “Then why are the others
speaking for which He also did not invite them?”
[19] Thomas said: “This again is no concern for the
two of us, for we cannot know if they were innerly invited to it or not. For in
the presence of the Lord, nothing will completely happen without His will,
since He is, and will always remain, also Lord over our thoughts, wishes and
desires. But it will not go well with him who does not heed the voice and the
will of the Lord in his own heart
- if only he can hear it - and will not conform to it.
This is how I think about it, and also this was put into my heart by the Lord,
for we human beings can think or say nothing from our own being which is really
good.”
[20] On this, Judas Iscariot did not say anything
anymore and watched together with us the bare environment, which however by the
crowding of many people was now very lively and therefore, as on a clear
morning, always very refreshing to see.
46. THE LORD AND THE ARABIAN ROBBERS
ALONG our hill however, there was also a footpath
coming from a higher mountain range where Arabians were living. They made use
of it to go to Essaea and from there also further. But the Arabians lived for
the greatest part on a kind of robbery. Already for a long time they had some
right according to which they could demand taxes from the travelers, and if a
traveler would not comply with this demand, also violence was done to him.
[2] When we were harmlessly watching the morning
scenes, nearly 20 of the formerly mentioned mountain Arabs came along the
footpath toward us, stood still and asked us in a not very friendly tone if we
already had paid the usual taxes to someone of their tribe.
[3] I said: “Not until now and we also will not do that
now or later, this for the following reasons: firstly we never carry money or
other earthly treasures with us, secondly you have no right to ask taxes from
us or from other strangers, for it is written: ‘You will not do to your
fellowman what you do not want him to do to you.’ And finally we are very
mighty beings who can send away such insolent extortioners and are able to
chastise them in a sensitive manner. Therefore, I give you the advice to
disappear immediately and not to demand taxes from any traveler, except if you
ask them. If you will comply with what I have advised you now, then you will do
good, in the other case you will fare badly.”
[4] When the Arabs heard that from Me, some of them
were surprised and said: “It happens only seldom that strangers who see us
standing well armed before them are coming to us with such words. And these 13
men would certainly not do that if they could not count on one or the other
extraordinary power. So it will be advisable to us not to interfere any further
with these men.”
[5] The one half agreed on that, but the other half
said: “Yes, if we always will let ourselves be frightened by such threats we
can as well give up our ancient right and turn to beggary. If these strangers
will really carry no money or other treasures, they are free without question,
but if they carry something anyway, they also will have to pay to us the taxes
we asked for. So let us examine them to see if they are completely without any
money or other treasures.”
[6] Upon this, they came standing very closely to Me,
and one of them tried also to touch Me with his hand. However, as soon as he
touched My garment, fire shot out from the ground and burned his hand. Then all
the others were frightened so much that they immediately fell down before Me
and begged Me for mercy.
[7] But I said: “I told you beforehand what you can
expect if you want to do violence to us. One of you has tried it and has
already received his reward. If you others also want to receive the same
reward, then do also violence to us.”
[8] All of them cried out: “Oh no, oh no, this we will
never do, not to you who are like gods, and also never more to anyone else, and
we will observe what You have advised to us, but let us go our way in peace and
let no more evil come over us.”
[9] On this I answered: “Then stand up and tell also
your companions what I have told you.”
[10] However, the one whose hand was burned howled
because of the pain and he begged Me to remove the pain from him, for he
believed that I also can do that.
[11] And I said: “This is surely possible to Me, but
because you are the worst of your gang, you must now also carry the reward that
you have deserved already for a long time. However, when you will ever improve
your life completely, then also your pain will cease. But in the place down
there you will find a spring. Go to it and dip your hand in the water, then
your pain will be relieved.”
[12] Then these mountain Arabs stood up and hurried down
to the place. The one with the burned hand hurried the most in order to come
quickly to the spring that was exactly located in front of the inn where we
were staying, and he asked the guard of the spring to receive water from it. In
return of a small payment he gave him a big dish of pure water in which he put
immediately his hand. At once he felt the unbearable pain to be relieved and he
praised Me because I had relieved his pain.
[13] Now a few people came out of the inn, and heard
from the Arabs what happened to them on that hill. So the guests of the inn
were informed about the place where I had gone in the morning, and so they all,
together with the innkeeper, went immediately on the hill, and when they came
to Me they expressed their great joy because they found Me back. The chief of
the Essenes told Me about all the things he had discussed with the Arab with
the burned hand and told Me also how he praised Me because I had relieved his
pain by the water of the spring.
[14] But I said: “Look, this was a very good lesson
for those privileged robbers of this region where a stranger can hardly pass
through without being robbed of a third of his property. These will now also
tell what happened to them here to their companions, who are spying along the various
roads for strangers to impose taxes upon them and to take it away to a large
extent in a merciless way. These companions will certainly also desist of their
activities and will not trouble so much the strangers anymore as this has
already been the case for a long time.
[15] You also should take care in the future that this
old abuse will be restrained. For after I will have gone it should be among the
people exactly as it was during the time of the first men on Earth. They should
be able to walk around as free brothers on the land which is their property and
should meet each other everywhere with true love, and in case of emergencies,
support them if possible. But to restrict each other of the rightful freedom by
all kinds of mistreatments is no more heavenly but hellish. The more
restrictions of the rightful freedom to travel by greedy and imperious people,
the more Hell and the less Heaven will be present among the people.
[16] But who are the ones that hinder their rightful
freedom to travel that is so necessary for the higher development of the soul?
In the first place, the so-called rulers whose power consists of corruptible
mercenaries. Although they allow rich people to travel, yet they want ransom
money in return and give them a travel card for a certain time, after which
they have to buy a new one if ever they still want to travel around for a
longer time. During this time it is unfortunately not possible otherwise,
because the blind people have already since long turned themselves away from God
and thus also from everything that is heavenly, and have turned to the slavery
of sins and Hell. But as it is now, it should not stay that way among the good
people.
[17] The second and even more stubborn group, who
restrict people the rightful freedom to travel are the different priests, the
pagan and Jewish ones, of whom the last mentioned are in this time completely
equal to the pagans. To them the freedom to travel of their faithful ones is an
abomination, because men could by traveling acquire too much experience and
would no more believe the deceptions in their own country, which would in
course of time have a bad influence on the income of these national deceivers
and worldly loafers.
[18] But in order to restrict as much as possible the
freedom to travel of the people, the mentioned priests give to some rude
people - with the silent approval of the
present worldly governors - the authorization, in return of a certain payment,
to stop travelers and ask such taxes from them, so that future traveling becomes
either very difficult for them or often completely impossible.
[19] And look, this is then already the perfect Hell
among men. Because of this, often the most wild battles and murder and
manslaughter will arise. Since the travelers surely know beforehand what can
happen to them on one or the other road or in a certain region, they travel in
large caravans at the same time, and persistently offer resistance against such
robbers who, namely in this region, are largely represented. The impact and
consequences of such battles you know all too well and it is therefore really
not necessary to describe them further to you. Do you perhaps believe that such
a thing could be determined by God’s will?
[20] It is true that, if all mankind would finally
begin to travel if the freedom to travel would have no wise restrictions, then
the cultivation of the soil - which is necessary for the physical life of men -
would be greatly harmed. But look, this has been taken care of by God who has
given men, just like the bees, different talents.”
47. ABOUT THE PURPOSE AND ADVANTAGE OF TRAVELING
IF you look at the bees, you will find different kinds
among them. First there is the queen bee that leads the main order in the
house, then there are the worker bees that work in the house, and further there
are the collector bees that zealously have to travel to collect honey and wax -
the honey for nutrition and the wax for the construction of cells. Look, so
there are also human beings with an inborn sense for work in the house, and
therefore they are absolutely not desirous to travel. If all human beings were
provided with this quality, they all too soon would pine away and would, like
the animals, become wild in their ancient manners and customs.
[2] Therefore, also in a small community there are
people who have a great urge to travel. Along their trips they obtain all kinds
of good and often also bitter experiences. Richly provided of these they return
home again and bring all kinds of spiritual honey and wax to their relatives, and
so in their homeland they become teachers and promoters of all cultures, which
is definitely a very good thing.
[3] But when people who God has chosen to travel
around the whole world to gather all kinds of treasures for the people at home
are too strongly hindered in their freedom for traveling, then this is
certainly against God’s will, and so it is evil and belongs to Hell.
[4] What would be said about Myself if I would not
travel to the people in many different places? Would it be their fault if no light
of life would come among them?
[5] But I personally have said and am still saying to
all My disciples: ‘Go out into all the world to every nation and proclaim the
gospel to them.’ And when I say this, I certainly cannot approve that the
rightful freedom to travel of the people is restricted in a disgraceful manner.
But then I can only show it in the light in which I see it, because with a
total restriction of the rightful freedom to travel it is indeed as good as
impossible to spread My teaching, and that is why I will know how to chastise
everyone who will act contrary to My will.
[6] So you, Essenes, accept from now on your task for
this purpose, and take care that the streets and roads become free, then I will
bless you all the more for that and will give you power over all evil spirits,
and then must happen what you will in My name.
[7] Just ask yourselves if a man to whom it is
forbidden to seek, will ever be able to find something. To seek, ask and knock
at the door of fellowman must be left completely free for every human being.
Remember this well what I have now told and shown you during the rising of the
sun, and act accordingly.”
[8] The chief said: “O Lord and Master, we will do
whatever we are and will be capable of, and please, by Your mercy, still
increase it in us for all times. Already for a long time we have viewed that
old abuse with the greatest disapproval, especially in this region, and have
also apposed it as much as possible. But it always had little result, for it
soon became clear to us that not so much Rome was behind it but Jerusalem with
Herod and the temple servants to whom we were a thorn in the flesh. They always
sent their messengers to these Arabs and could provide them with permits to
rob, and we finally even had to approve for form’s sake in order not to be in
danger ourselves.
[9] But because we know now what Your will is, we will
from now on certainly act very strongly against this old mischief, and all
these many streets will certainly be purified from these robbers. But in many
other places where we do not come and where, as far as we know, the temple
servants are doing even greater mischief, You, o Lord and Master, will care that action will be taken against them
with the greatest determination.”
[10] I said: “This has largely been taken care of, and
in the future even more care will be taken of it when necessary.
[11] Everyone who will travel in My name over the
whole world to proclaim My teaching to the nations as pure as he has received
it from Me will travel safely over all roads and streets and will not be
attacked by any street robber. He will be able to walk over snakes, salamanders
and scorpions, and they will not be able to harm him. And if someone would mix
poison in his food or drink, it will not harm his body and blood. And if he
would come into whole troops of wolves, lions, tigers, panthers, hyenas, bears
and wild boars, then these furious animals will not only not be able to harm
him in any way, but will be of service to him in case of need, for a person who
is filled with the Spirit of God is also lord over the fury and anger of
malicious animals just as he is also lord over all elements, if he carries the
faith for it without any doubt in his heart and also in his soul.
[12] But in course of time, there also will be a lot
of false prophets traveling in My name to the foreign people in all the nations
of the world - although only in appearance to spread My teaching among them,
but in fact only to receive many earthly goods from the foreign nations, and
for this reason they will turn and change My teaching in such a way that this
will be most suitable for their pursuit of profit.
[13] Well now, such messengers cannot count on the
protection as I have promised to you here. For he who will not work for Me and
for the truthful spreading of God’s Kingdom on Earth among the people, but only
for himself and his world, will never be accepted by Me and can also not expect
any protection or reward from Me. He only can seek his protection, his help and
his reward in himself and in his world.
[14] And even if he will call Me in his need: ‘Lord,
Lord, help me in my great need’, then the answer will be laid in his heart and
conscience: ‘Why do you, worldly man, call Me for help? I do not know you and I
also have never accepted you, for on your own you have without any faith in Me
and only because of worldly gain, traveled so-called in My name as a false
teacher over the whole world. Now help yourself, now that you are in need and
misery, for I do not owe you any help since you also have done nothing for Me.
Because you actually did not go out voluntarily, driven by faith in Me, neither
by the true love for the salvation of men, but only for the sake of your own
earthly welfare. And even less were you ever called or invited by Me. You have
set out for danger for your own advantage. So help yourself now, or maybe they
who have sent you can help you.’
[15] Although, for the sake of My true name, My true
disciples will in the future also have much trouble with and endure much
persecution from the worldly people and on the part of many false prophets and
teachers who are so-called acting in My name. But by that they will always be
able to count on My help and on My special protection and reward, but the world
and its prophets never. They can only protect themselves with the sword in
their hand and secure themselves against the dangers, but finally it will be
like this: he who will handle the sword will also perish by the sword.”
CHAPTER 48. INSTRUCTING THE TEACHERS
AND look, this is now how the One to whom all power in
Heaven and on Earth has been given out of Himself since eternity, has spoken to
you and to all of you who are present here, and therefore you also can believe
that I will do everything I have promised.
So you should not worry about anything else except passing on My
teaching to the nations as purely as you have heard it from me.
[2] I have given you the teaching and the power to do
wonders in My name for free, and so you also should give all that for free to
the nations. However, if the people will love you for the sake of My name and
want to serve you with all kindness, then you also may accept this kindness, as
it is permitted by Moses, for whoever serves love by love, serving in this way
God’s true altar, may also live by the altar.
[3] If someone out of true love will do something good
to a called teacher, helper or prophet, I will also accept that as if he had
done it for Me, and he will receive the reward of a prophet. For even those who
- in their innocence and in the blindness of which they are not guilty - will
bring offerings to the false teachers and prophets, will be richly compensated
by Me, for they believe that they are pleasing God by that. So also I will
compensate all the more richer those people who out of true and pure love for
Me have done something good to those who I have sent to them and who I have
awakened for them.
[4] Therefore, in the future you can also say to those
who have found comfort and help with you, asking you what kind of offering they
should bring you for that, according to their old manners and customs: ‘We have
done this out of God’s love which has given us such a mighty grace for free.
However, if you also have the love of God in you, which you have come to know
through us, then do what this love will command you to do, for we have many
poor people around us who need your love. But for what we have done for you in
the name of the Lord there is no charge as before, but from now on until the
end of times we will do that for free, because also we have received this
invaluable grace from God for free for the salvation of every person who
believes in the God whom we are proclaiming, who will keep His commandments,
love Him above all and his neighbor as himself.’
[5] So when people are out of love voluntarily doing
for you or giving you one or the other thing, then you can also accept it
without objection in all love and kindness. But from the poor you should not
accept anything, even under this condition, but you should moreover support them
in all love and kindness, so that they will be aware of God’s eternal love and
kindness.
[6] Now I have revealed, namely to you Essenes, how
all things should be and also will be in the future and what My true disciples
should do and can expect, and so we can leave this hill and go down to the inn
where the morning meal is already prepared. Only after that we will start with
the work for which reason you have asked Me in the fullest faith to come to
you.
[7] However, what I have told you here, keep that to
yourselves for the time being, since I have entrusted this to you on this
lonely hill without any strangers to witness. However, to those who will step
in your footprints you should inform them completely. For if someone does not
know how he should carry out his profession and is not informed of what his
profession consists, then how will he be able to carry it out? That is why
everyone who wants to carry out My profession on Earth among the people must be
very well acquainted with it and be entirely convinced about everything,
otherwise he is and will remain a dead and blind teacher.
[8] Because a teacher who truly and actively will
teach in My name, needs more than the knowledge to read the Scripture and then
to read it aloud to other people. I say to you: the letter is dead - and also
the one who only reads it while he himself does not understand it and will thus
also not act accordingly - so that he can awaken in the spirit and come to
life. Only the spirit makes alive and gives the right understanding and active
power.
[9] As you are now instructed by God, every true
teacher must in the whole future be instructed by God before he can assume a
godly profession, for if a person, of no matter what kind of profession, wants
to become a good worker at the same level of a master, he surely must learn it
first from a master of that profession. However, in this profession, which
consists of the most important and most holy for every human being, I alone am
the Master. Thus, whoever wants to teach this to the people with the best
result must first learn it from Me.
[10] That is why I said to you that those who will
step in your footprints and will continue the profession that I have entrusted
to you now, must be well instructed in all the things that I have now entrusted
to you. For the other people it is however sufficient that they actively
believe in Me, love Me above all and the fellowman as themselves. Because this
covers all of Moses, the law and all prophets, and the result of it is eternal
life, and in the opposite case eternal death out of which a soul will hardly
awaken to life.”
[11] Now the chief said: “O Lord and Master, we all
have heard, understood and also taken deeply at heart Your very important words
of life. Only one thing at least is not completely clear to me. What it is that
we should do and observe during the profession that You have entrusted to us,
that we have now well heard and learned from You, the only true Master, but how
will those who later will assume our profession be able to do that, since You
surely will not always be personally among us, as this is now fortunately the
case for us?”
[12] I said, while we were already going down the
hill: “By far you still have not yet learned everything from Me what you will
need in order to perform completely well the profession that I have entrusted
to you, and nevertheless you will soon learn from Me all the rest without My
personal presence. For even if I will not be present bodily as a person as I am
now, I still will be present in the spirit of My love, wisdom, might and power.
And that Spirit will always teach you whatever you should do and speak. It will
put the words that you should speak in your heart and in your mouth.
[13] And as you will be instructed in this manner by
My Spirit in all wisdom from God, also your true successors will be instructed
in everything without My bodily presence. For truly I say to you: where I am
speaking and working now, so also it is only My Spirit that speaks and works,
which is God as the Father in eternity, and not My bodily person that first has
to be dissolved to enter entirely into the glory of the Father.
[14] And if you know this now, you will now also
understand how someone for the sake of eternal life always can and will be
instructed by Me, even without this bodily personality of Mine.”
CHAPTER 49. THE HEALING OF THE SICK PEOPLE OF THE CHIEF
OF THE ESSENES
WHEN the chief heard this of Me, he thanked Me with
all his heart, for by this a great burden was taken away from him. While we
were having this important discussion with each other, we arrived at our inn
where already a rich and well-prepared morning meal was waiting for us. So we
went immediately to sit at the table that was full of food and drinks. I
thanked and blessed the food and wine, and then we took the morning meal in a
cheerful mood and with moderation, about which the innkeeper and his wife who
had prepared the meal for us were truly rejoicing.
[2] Also a few of the most prominent Essenes, with the
chief in charge, were sitting at our table and were eating and drinking with
great enjoyment and cheerfulness.
