Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
therefore also in all truth what you both have recognized Me to be. But now
you alone have recognized the salvation of your lives; but there are many of
you in this area. How will you teach them this? You must not do it suddenly,
but instead just little by little, because otherwise their freedom of will would
suffer great harm; but there is still the question of how you will start.‖
[GGJ.05_206,07] Aziona says, ―This issue will certainly be a little
problematic; for the others are even greater cynics than we are! But
everything looks better in the morning, and we will surely manage. I believe
that it is also somewhat easier to deal with intelligent people in the subject of
faith than simply with gullible ones who indeed accept something to be true
very quickly, but afterwards are not at all in a position to judge what they
have accepted. But these people here never buy a pig in a poke, but instead
they look at the wares from all sides in the light; and if they can make a good
judgment, they then accept a genuine and good object at any price. And so
we believe that we will also manage with our members and companions very
easily and well.
[GGJ.05_206,08] And now in the east it is already beginning to dawn, and
soon it will become very active in the bay – for one must head out to fish here
before the sunrise if one wants to catch anything; fishing by day does not
reward a lot of effort and work. The neighbors are already beginning to stir, in
order to gather together the fishing tackle. We both will also have to get
started soon, so that we will have a fresh breakfast. Since we have captured
from You so many most magnificent things for our souls in this night, our first
duty now is to ensure that you all may find positive hospitality here, not only
as a consequence of your wonderful generosity, but also as a consequence
of our heightened activity.‖
[GGJ.05_206,09] Say I: ―Just leave that be! It will be seen to that you all have
enough fish! If you now want to do something, then collect the lances,
spears, swords and chains lying around here and put them into safe-keeping;
then clear the ship as well, and take its treasures! Then immediately you will
be able to use the ship very well for a great fishing industry. But bring the two
fishermen who are staying here, so that they will receive instruction as to how
they will have to behave in the future at all times!‖
Chapter 207
[GGJ.05_207,01] At this Hiram and Aziona went into the hut and
straightaway brought the two fishermen to the Lord. Then they woke their
family in the neighboring huts and busied themselves with the work
commanded. Their wives and children could indeed not stop being amazed
at such rich gifts and were full of questions and thoughts.
