Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
spirit only begins to see that he is standing only at the beginning of the
revelation of the most countless miracles of eternal power and wisdom and
the highest love of God the Lord and Father of eternity? Oh, what thoughts
take possession of your great limitation in every deeper cognition of life!
[GGJ.05_186,02] Just look at the sun, which gives the Earth the day! What
do you know about this magnificent star? Nothing! Yes, you do not even
know about its organization and its relationship to this Earth! You think and
believe only what you can perceive with your senses; but things are quite
different. Not this Earth stands as if in an eternal centre, and the sun does
not and never cannot go around it, although it seems so, but instead the sun
is the centre for this with the moon and the planets that you are familiar with,
and this Earth along with its moon, as well as all the other planets move at
various distances around the sun. The almost 25-hour orbit of the Earth
around its polar axis creates the daily rising and setting of the sun.
[GGJ.05_186,03] Certainly you may not believe that because of the limitation
of your insight, but future peoples, to whom God will give the correct light, will
see that very clearly.
[GGJ.05_186,04] You can now believe me since you know that I can have a
deepest founded knowledge of all truth. But since we now have touched
upon the sun, so I tell you that it is a thousand times a thousand times bigger
than this Earth. What miracles you never dreamt of cover its wide expanses!
What a number of the most wonderful creatures of God walk there in the
greatest harmony on its extremely wide spread out realms of light and rejoice
in their blessed being! Their beauty is already of such extent that you can
observe and be amazed at a human form from there here on Earth for an
eternity without ever having enough of looking at it! What I say to you is
entirely and highest truth and not in the least any sort of exaggeration.
[GGJ.05_186,05] But if a life of ten thousand years on this scanty Earth
according to your admission in bearably good circumstances of life would not
be unpleasant, I would like to then hear from you the number of years which
you would like to live out very decently on the sun!
[GGJ.05_186,06] But that is not the only sun in the endless space of
creation, but instead there are countless many and among them many of
such an immeasurable size that even this enormously great sun for your
understanding would be compared to that giant sun hardly like a snowflake
in comparison with the size of this Earth.
[GGJ.05_186,07] But if things are so in the kingdom of material creation, how
much more than in the endless kingdom of the spiritual creations of the Lord
God and Father of eternity! And you want to speak about boredom in the
eternal after-life of a person who has completely become a perfect spirit?!
