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

has come to us! This is now the true, new Jerusalem, of which a prophet<br />

prophesied; the old and bad one however will soon perish!‖<br />

[GGJ.05_270,06] Everyone copied this speech, and indeed with such<br />

enthusiasm and power of voice that it reverberated from the many wide and<br />

high cliff walls in a thousand echoes. The inhabitants, for whom such a game<br />

of nature was still foreign, thought that I must therefore be a highest spiritual<br />

person, because now even the spirits of the air and the mountains had joined<br />

in with their praise.<br />

[GGJ.05_270,07] Yet I Myself explained to them such a phenomenon, and<br />

they accepted My explanation gratefully, but tested their powerful voices<br />

once more and received the same effect even without the hosanna.<br />

[GGJ.05_270,08] And they all believed then and said, ―You are alone the true<br />

one; for the templars would already have stoned us now if we had not<br />

believed that this very truly was spirits of the mountain and air!‖<br />

[GGJ.05_270,09] But I said to the host that he should now look around at<br />

how all these many guests, about two hundred in number, should be cared<br />

for with a meal.<br />

[GGJ.05_270,10] But the host said, ―Lord, what and how much I have, shall<br />

be brought out and given out; only I fear that it will hardly be enough for<br />

[GGJ.05_270,12] And the host went inside and looked and found all his<br />

larders full of bread, wine, milk, honey and fresh fish and another large<br />

number of the finest flour for rolls and other dishes.<br />

[GGJ.05_270,13] Then he came back again, beat himself on the breast and<br />

said, ―Oh, that is now more than ever! I know exactly what was in my larders<br />

before; they were only filled sparingly for my household, and now they beam<br />

with the highest abundance! That was You again, oh Lord! Yes, now a<br />

thousand can be cooked for, not only for two hundred! But where to find so<br />

many cooks? The dear neighbors must today put their hands to work already;<br />

for my people would not be finished before morning!‖<br />

[GGJ.05_270,14] When the wives and children of the neighbor heard this,<br />

they hurried into the large kitchen and got to work, and so a great meal was<br />

ready in an hour.<br />

[GGJ.05_270,15] The meal was indeed ready now; but then a very different<br />

problem arose. The host now had far too few tables and benches, and his<br />

rooms were also too small for two hundred guests. To be brief, everything<br />
