Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B<br />
have no other and foreign gods besides Me! Well, how do they go together<br />
then, if I am also a god?‖<br />
[GGJ.05_264,07] Elisa said while busily preparing the fish, ―Oh Lord, they go<br />
together very well!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_264,08] Said I: ―Yes, but how so?‖<br />
[GGJ.05_264,09] She said, ―Because You and the Father in heaven are not<br />
two, but quite perfectly one and heaven is always and eternally only where<br />
You are, oh Lord!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_264,10] Said I: ―But who told you that, and who taught you in this?‖<br />
[GGJ.05_264,11] She said, ―First of all, You Yourself, oh Lord! ‗Peace be<br />
with you and with your house!‘ and ‗The kingdom of God has come close to<br />
you!‘ Those are words which can only come from a divine mouth! And then<br />
came Your miracles, which apart from God no-one can perform! Then<br />
yesterday, when You, oh Lord, laid down to rest, I spoke for a long time<br />
about that twelve-year old Jesus in the temple with my father, and looked<br />
through all the texts in Isaiah that refer to You, and then it turned out more<br />
brightly then the sun that You are none other than the promised Messiah and<br />
can be none but Jehovah Zebaoth Himself in Your spirit! You see, oh Lord,<br />
those are my reasons to consider You what You obviously are!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_264,12] Said I: ―Well, you are right, as is your earthly father; but you<br />
must not disclose Me to your neighbors before the right time! And since you<br />
have recognized Me and are serving only Me today on the Sabbath with your<br />
hard work, then work; but see that none of your neighbors are annoyed by it!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_264,13] Elisa said, ―Oh, do not worry about that! We are all far<br />
beyond that point. We indeed do not perform any hard, slavish tasks on a<br />
Sabbath; but wherever there is need we also do that on any Sabbath. We<br />
now are no longer under the hypocrisy of the temple and its selfish laws, from<br />
which any rich person can buy himself free for a certain time, but instead our<br />
law is the truth and its goodness and this forbids no-one to do the most<br />
necessary for his house on a Sabbath.<br />
[GGJ.05_264,14] But if the idle going and hanging around was something<br />
necessary for the achievement of eternal life, then You, oh Lord, would<br />
certainly give all the people a good example, since You would not let any<br />
sun, moon or stars go up and down on the Sabbath, which would certainly be<br />
within Your powers. Thus neither would any wind blow, no clouds or fog<br />
would form, no river flow, no sea move, and even the animals would have to<br />
instinctively observe the full Sabbath as an example for us people! But if one<br />
observes the whole great creation only somewhat exactly, one sees only too<br />
soon that You are just as active on the Sabbath as on any other working day,<br />
