Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B<br />

of some void, material reasons and receives death for it. And so I think that<br />

every person who has once been taught by You Yourself and has recognized<br />

You as He who You are, cannot possibly neglect to live and to act most<br />

exactly with all love and joy as You have commanded him.<br />

[GGJ.05_219,03] Well may some hurdles and difficulties crop up for the<br />

follower of Your teaching among the now very wicked, totally blind and to an<br />

unlimited degree selfish, proud and power hungry human world, since there<br />

are very many more terrible human spirits than good ones; but if one already<br />

knows what one has in Your teaching and what one has to expect through<br />

the observance of it, then the mountains may set themselves against him and<br />

all the storms may rage against him, and one will still be able to stand up to<br />

them all with the most constant courage in the world. For a hiker attacked by<br />

enemies often defends himself with the courage of a lion in order not to lose<br />

this short and in any case quickly passing life, which truly in any case has not<br />

much value if it is lost – why then not defend oneself with a true courage of a<br />

thousand lions against enemies who threaten to take away eternal life<br />

through this life from the wandering people?! I believe that I am quite of the<br />

right opinion in this aspect.<br />

[GGJ.05_219,04] Yes, people who cling to this vain world, seek their whole<br />

salvation in the dung of this earth and have not been penetrated by Your<br />

teaching like I have and do not see the value of their life and may not, will not<br />

and cannot understand it, will certainly lose all courage in danger and soon<br />

sink back into the old dung again; but people such as us will not allow<br />

themselves to be driven so easily into a dead end.<br />

[GGJ.05_219,05] I tell You, oh Lord and Master: Whoever has no fear of the<br />

death of the body, emperors and kings will have difficulty making laws for<br />

him! Now let the whole Earth go to ruin, and I will not fear the certain downfall<br />

of my body; for I know indeed now from Your words that my soul will not be<br />

destroyed with Your life spirit in it! With this confidence enemies may then<br />

come from wherever and however many they want, and they will truly present<br />

me, Aziona and Hiram no shock; their veto will remain unheard and their<br />

threat unnoticed. And now tell us, oh Lord and Master of life, whether I am<br />

right or not!‖<br />

[GGJ.05_219,06] I say, ―You are perfectly right, and all the more so because<br />

you also would behave so in an emergency, just like all of you in this place.<br />

But since we now are together in trust and have indeed got to know each<br />

other, but certainly it is very important for Me that you all will not waver at all<br />

sorts of events and trials, I must now make you all familiar with some other<br />

things. And so listen to Me!‖<br />
