Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
obediently subject. For us here, speaking most honestly, You and the young
man there are a fully true Messiah; as far as the other numerous people of
the Earth are concerned, they affect us even less than nothing. If You are not
enough for them, they may bring one over from India, Persia or Egypt!
[GGJ.05_205,03] But as far as the teaching of Yours as a true maxim for life
for the people of flesh and soul of this Earth is concerned, I believe that I
have it figured out its basic elements! Love for God, respectively You, and
from this the true, most unselfish love for one‘s neighbor is and remains
eternally the foundation stone on which the whole system of life seems to
rest. To this rule there must be no exception, in whichever sphere of affliction
a person might need genuine help. If one stops steadfastly for this reason
and then becomes active with all strength, it must unmistakably happen that
one is released at least from the main hereditary sin in the shortest time! Am
I right or not?‖
[GGJ.05_205,04] Say I: ―I knew indeed that you would find your way; for a
truly wise man is always a true Messiah for the unwise natural man, that is, he
is a mediator (Mesziaz) between pure human reason and divine-spiritual
wisdom and, thus, only reason can gain entrance into divine wisdom and
become at one with it through the Mesziaz.
[GGJ.05_205,05] The wiser the intermediary is, the better success he will
certainly achieve among his followers. And if the follower then walks
steadfastly along the path of inner spiritual light, he will also remain in the
light and make the life of light his own, which death cannot follow, because
the life of the spiritual light is the eternal, unchanging and eternal truth, which
must also eternally remain as what it is; for two and two will always give a
total of four in all eternity.
[GGJ.05_205,06] The way it goes with this truth which is just an example, it
goes with all divinely spiritual truths from heaven. They are and remain
eternally, and they themselves are alone the actual true life, because they
would not be truths without life. So a soul, once it has entered such truths
entirely, can never taste death, and as light and truth itself also has
completely embraced the life inside itself, and that is of course a result of a
genuine mediator.
[GGJ.05_205,07] Therefore, My dear Hiram, you are quite right in
assuming that I am a true mediator and redeemer. But it says in Scripture that
the promised mediator will be a Son of the Supreme God. According to this, no
mere son of the earth, however wise, could be a true, great mediator between
the fallen men of the earth and the Supreme Spirit of God. He would surely
have to be in full possession of a divine nature and divine attributes and,
where necessary, display these openly. — What is your opinion to this?"
