Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B<br />
is striking here now, however, is the wine, as I have just remarked. Where did<br />
Aziona get it from?‖<br />
[GGJ.05_210,04] Hiram says, ―I wanted to say that to you earlier; but you got<br />
there before me. Look, this man here, who said to Aziona: All the waters of<br />
the Earth and also of the heavens are from Me; how should I use it to wash?,<br />
created the wine simply through His will from the water, and now even out of<br />
the air; for He had emptied this container before entirely! And now, what do<br />
you say to that?‖<br />
[GGJ.05_210,05] Epiphan says, ―Yes, if that is so, it is indeed very much!<br />
Indeed certain Indian magicians are supposed to have an extraordinary<br />
power in their will and glances, so that they can bewitch the wildest animals<br />
in an instant to such an extent that they must stand still on one spot as if<br />
lifeless and allow whatever such a magician wants to be done to them; they<br />
are also supposed to be able to command the winds, clouds and lightning<br />
effectively! That has thus been seen before. Well, whether they can also<br />
make the best wine from water or air, I truly do not know; only one knows as<br />
much about the old magicians indeed that they were able to turn water into<br />
blood and rain into sheer frogs and snakes. In itself, that requires indeed a<br />
strong faith; for we have never seen such a thing. But this one we have seen<br />
ourselves, so we can likewise think: If that is possible, then the other can also<br />
have been possible. We will not judge this any further. Aziona is coming<br />
already with the morning meal, and we are already quite hungry, and so we<br />
will put the further discussions off until later!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_210,06] Then everyone was called to the meal. Everyone gathers<br />
around the extended table and begins at My command to tuck in actively and<br />
to eat. The fish are soon eaten up and next bread and wine are served.<br />
[GGJ.05_210,07] When the neighbors, who were still uninformed, taste the<br />
extremely tasty bread and the likewise excellent wine, they really become<br />
alert, and Epiphan says with an investigative manner: Well, now I am<br />
beginning to believe myself that we are dealing with no ordinary and natural<br />
magic; for such a thing has never been heard of by man, as far as I with my<br />
rather extensive knowledge can tell! Ah, the wine is indeed endlessly good!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_210,08] I say, ―It is just right that you used the expression ‗endless‘!<br />
For you already accused Hiram of having a sun-burnt brain, because he<br />
began to speak to you about the fact that the power of My will is an eternally<br />
effective one, working through the whole infinity of space and all eternity of<br />
time, and how all power, all light and all life is united in Me, and how then<br />
also everything that fills the endless space spiritually and naturally came forth<br />
only from Me. What are you now thinking about it? What do you understand<br />
under the expressions: infinity, eternity, space, time, power, light and life?<br />
