Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
[GGJ.05_260,06] But I said to him, ―Peace be with you and with this whole,
truly not insignificant village. The kingdom of God has come close, which you
plain and simple people will learn to see well enough during My rest that I will
take with you! But for now I ask you whether we cannot have shelter with you
for a short time?‖
[GGJ.05_260,07] The chief spoke: ―You are no evil people that I worked out
at the first glance; but you are some adventurers, yet that does not matter,
and so you can indeed find shelter under my roof. But you must tell me very
much about what is happening in the world; for I have not got away from this
place for almost twenty years into the wicked world, and thus know as little as
nothing about it! Also the inhabitants of this village go only from time to time
to the next little village or area of Nahim for salt, which we do not have here.
But we have not been in Jerusalem for almost twenty years, although we are
strict Jews. For there was nothing then but lies, deception, domineeringness
and the very worst arrogance from the temple down through all the layers of
society. How do things look there now?
[GGJ.05_260,08] I as a genuine Jew moved here for that reason out of true
love for God with some others who were like-minded, and we gave God, the
only Lord, an indeed free, but as pure as possible, faithfully devoted
community, and He has blessed us very richly for it.
[GGJ.05_260,09] You are also Jews and will trust your great part of salvation
for the soul in the temple in Jerusalem? But you were never scribes and
servants of the temple and can therefore have no idea of what terrible cheek,
disgusting to ever better human mind, takes place there with the holy rights
of man inside the holy walls! That made me and several of my friends
indignant! We searched and found this valley in which we immediately found
the necessary nourishment.
[GGJ.05_260,10] With time we built here these very cozy houses and now
we live very comfortably and peacefully together and always give God alone
the honor. I ask you only one thing, that you do not betray us to anyone on
your return to the world! Otherwise you are our very welcome guests. Now let
us go to my house which is certainly more pleasing to the Lord God than
Solomon‘s temple in Jerusalem. In the house over a good meal we will
discuss some things and you shall get to know us well then!‖

[GGJ.05_261,01] We now went into a quite cute and spacious mountain
valley cabin and were immediately served with bread, salt and fresh milk.
The chief excused himself for not being able to offer us any wine; but he had
